age:
7 Years
proof:
100
bottle:
750ML

This single barrel bottled-in-bond bourbon was crafted to celebrate America's 250th anniversary.

Yellowstone Limited Edition 2026

age:
Coming Soon
proof:
101
bottle:
750 ML

Inspired by the dramatic contrasts of the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone, Limited Edition 2026 is Master Distiller Stephen Beam's 101 proof ode to light and shadow, finished in Ruby and Tawny Port casks that echo the canyon's fiery sunsets and deep valley shadows.

Summer 2025

Yellowstone Toasted Barrel Bourbon

age:
10 Years
proof:
100
bottle:
750ml

The most exclusive Yellowstone release to date, with only 30 barrels ever produced. The barrels used to finish this bourbon have a unique history, they were the same barrels used for the Yellowstone Limited Edition releases from 2016 to 2018. In 2016, the barrels were toasted; in 2017, those same barrels were charred to level 1; and in 2018, they were charred to level 3. After being emptied in 2018, Steve Beam refilled them with 4-year-old Yellowstone Bourbon and let them rest for six more years, resulting in a beautifully finished 10-year-old finished bourbon unlike any other.
