Color

Dark Gold

Nose

Caramel, lime jello, orange marmalade, and artificial vanilla. Very light nose that’s filled with citrus and fruit.

Palate

Vanilla, caramel, cinnamon, tobacco, nutmeg, and flat cola. The palate is thick and rich.

Finish

A pronounced medium ling finish with notes of cinnamon, espresso, anise, strawberry jam, angostura bitters, caramel, and a hint of citrus fruit.

In closing

Simply out, the 2021 release of Yellowstone Limited Edition does not disappoint. It boasts complex and bold flavor with wonderful mouthfeel and finish. The alcohol is very well integrated, especially on the nose. At $99.99, this limited edition bourbon is a great value and for sure on my “must buy” list.
