Yellowstone, 54%

Price: 55 Issue: Summer 2023 Reviewer: Julia Higgins Category: Single Malt American Whiskey

The nose is nostalgic, bringing to mind cherry cough syrup, Fruit Roll-Ups, and Fig Newtons. The fruit grows darker, turning to blueberry bagel, fig spread, and blackberry puree on lightly burnt toast. Cherries hold court on the palate, with chocolate-covered Bing cherries, cherry dip, and cherry cola coating the mouth. The finish is slightly woody and spiced, with a past-ripe fruit note that also adds a jammy element.
