I have been looking forward to getting my hands on Yellowstone American Single Malt from creates a nice sipping whiskey with good flavors. Bottled at 54% ABV and priced at $54.99, it promises genuine character.
Nose
Mash bill: 100% Malted Barley. 54% ABV. Aged four years. suggested retail price of $54.99. Color: Maple Syrup. The nutty aroma is still the primary profile on the palate, along with a cereal flavor that should be expected from any single malt. The fruit that was present on the nose disappears a bit on the palate, but there is definitely still a fair amount of sweetness that sticks around and mixes well with the oily texture. There is also a bit of heat to each sip, though nothing that should turn anyone who likes single malts away.
Palate
Nutty, with strong fruit sweetness. Limestone Branchs first attempt at a single malt under their Yellowstone label is a success. Using American tradition, along with a classically Scottish mash bill, the distillery creates a nice sipping whiskey with good flavors. Though not world beating, it checks all the boxes that you would want in a single malt, and is a good choice if youre looking for something reliable and easy going.
