Yellowstone Limited Edition Cognac and Brandy Cask Finished (2024 Release), 50.5%

Price: 100 Issue: Winter 2024 Reviewer: Shane English Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey

Fruity and gentle, this shows off an orchard of apple aromas and flavors. On the nose, tart apple is kept in check by pie crust, gingersnaps, and a generous pinch of cinnamon sugar. The palate brings in pears and candied orange peel alongside subtle oak and a whisper of char. The finish delivers caramel sweetness and apple tartness with toasted oak. Cohesive from nose to finish, this whiskey is easy to like in a straightforward way.
