This Yellowstone Hand Picked Collection bottling, barrel #7700059, is a single-barrel Kentucky straight bourbon chosen by the retailer group The Bourbon Enthusiast and bottled at cask strength. Single-barrel picks come from one barrel rather than a blend, so the proof and profile belong to this barrel alone, and no two picks drink exactly alike. Yellowstone, made at Limestone Branch Distillery in Kentucky, builds these barrels on a traditional bourbon recipe and lets the char do the work: expect the sweet caramel, toasted oak and baking-spice character the label is known for, amplified by the undiluted strength. Because it is bottled straight from the barrel, add a few drops of water if the proof runs hot. Best poured neat and taken slowly.
