Bourbon Tasting: Yellowstone 2023 Limited Edition
Monday, 24 March, 2025
Dive deep with us into the amber-hued world of premium bourbon as we savor Yellowstone's exceptional 2023 limited release. This remarkable expression combines 7, 13, and 16-year-old whiskeys finished in Hungarian dessert wine barrels, creating a uniquely sweet profile that stands head and shoulders above standard offerings.Beyond just appreciating fine spirits, we explore the meaningful conservation efforts behind the Yellowstone brand, which donated a quarter-million dollars last year to preserve the national treasure that shares its name. It's a reminder that great bourbon can support great causes.The conversation takes a fascinating turn as we unpack the mysteries of cold chill filtration. Ever wondered why some bourbons cloud when you add water while others remain crystal clear? We break down how this common production process affects everything from mouthfeel to flavor complexity, and why bourbon enthusiasts often seek out non-chill filtered expressions for their richer character.We're witnessing a significant shift in the bourbon landscape—what we call the "neutral zone." Where allocated bottles once disappeared instantly, many premium expressions now linger on shelves. The shocking price variations we've discovered (from $46 to $80 for the same bottle of Henry McKenna, depending on where you shop) highlight the unpredictable nature of today's market. For collectors and casual drinkers alike, this cooling period offers unique opportunities to access previously elusive bottles.Pour yourself something special and join the B-Team for this spirited conversation about exceptional bourbon, production techniques, and market insights that will enhance your appreciation of America's native spirit. Whether you're a seasoned connoisseur or just bourbon-curious, there's something here to elevate your next drinking experience.
