I remember this brand being bandied around for years and not a particularly revered name. In the last few years, it became associated with Luxco and I am a fan of many of their products and many memories of their currently held brands. Never tried Yellowstone before today but I love the series and their adds.
Nice nose of oak and lots of rye spice. Can't find the mash bill but I suspect the rye is over 20%. It's a nice easy sipper but nothing really stands out and the finish is very short. I popped and poured so I will revisit as the bottle airs a couple days. (3.5)
The bottle was corked overnight but this bourbon really evolved. The nose is more intense and with a nutty overlay to the oak. Flavors are nuanced but the rye spice is still there. This bourbon is excellent over ice as it continues to open and evolve over the hour. (3.75)
While I like it, there are too many other bourbons at 38 (or less) that offer me more.
