However, my perspective changed when I visited Lebanon, KY, to meet with Stephen B. Beam and Stephen Fante for a podcast. During the visit, the whiskey truly came alive for me. Let’s dive into my tasting experience!

Yellowstone Bourbon has a unique way of finishing whiskey which I truly appreciate. It has a nice balance of natural spirit with the hints of the finishing cask. This is great pour for the summer with a giant ice cube. Do you like this rum cask-finished bourbon?
