Review & Tasting Notes
Every year the Yellowstone Limited Edition offering presents fans with something a little different. The 2022 Yellowstone Limited Edition Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a blend of 7-year old, 15-year old, and 16-year bourbons.
The juice for this expression is hand-selected by Limestone Branch Master Distiller, Stephen Beam. Yes, that Beam. Not only that, his great-great-grandfather was another bourbon legend, J.W. Dant. Makes perfect sense why Stephan and his brother launched this project to produce fine small batch spirits.
What’s different about this release from prior releases? This bourbon blend is finished inMarsala Superiore casks.Marsala Superiore is a wine which is produced near the city of Marsala in Sicily, Italy. This is a fortified wine, aged at least two years, and could be compared to Sherry wine.

For this application, Marsala adds tangy notes of dried fruit and citrus. Marsala wine is commonly used for cooking, or served as a dessert wine. Finished whiskies have certainly increased in popularity, but this is somewhat an unconventional finish.Marsala is a rich red wine providing a unique barrel finish.
“I’ve been experimenting with different finishes for the Yellowstone Limited Edition bourbons, and I really fell in love with the impact the Marsala Superiore cask finish has on the overall taste profile of the bourbon,” explained Master Distiller, Stephen Beam. “Consumers can expect an aroma of dried apricots and honey with hints of tobacco; a body that contains dark-brown sugar notes, mixed with dried fruit, walnut and dates, with a hint of vanilla; followed by a lingering finish with hints of palm sugar and tamarind. It’s certain to become a new fan favorite.”
