For over 150 years, Yellowstone Bourbon has stood for something bigger than just good whiskey. It’s a nod to American legacy—first distilled in 1872 as a tribute to the country’s first national park, a namesake that promised grandeur and wildness in equal measure. Now, the historic Kentucky brand is stepping off the back bar and into your backpack with the launch of Yellowstone Cocktails—a trio of ready-to-serve bourbon-based cocktails designed for modern drinkers who want quality on the go.
Crafted under the eye of seventh-generation master distiller Stephen Beam at Limestone Branch Distillery, the new bottled line blends award-winning Yellowstone Kentucky Straight Bourbon with all-natural ingredients, bottled at strength and intention in 750mL formats—each equal to about six bar-strength pours.
The trio includes:
- Gold Rush (25% ABV): A fig-honey and lemon twist on the classic bourbon sour—clean, sweet, and citrus-driven, but with a botanical undercurrent that lingers like late summer dusk.
- Old Fashioned (35% ABV): Bold and vibrant with blood orange, bitters, and cherry—less a syrupy throwback and more of a bright, spirit-forward interpretation that still pays homage to its roots.
- Espresso (25% ABV): A bourbon-and-coffee high note, with vanilla and raisin riding beneath the crema—designed not for the end of the night, but maybe the start of an unexpected one.
“Each expression is designed to highlight the depth and versatility of our whiskey,” Beam said. “They’re for the people who care about what they’re drinking, but don’t want to stop moving to enjoy it.”
That portability and purpose extend beyond the pour. Every Yellowstone Cocktail comes in a spill-proof, fully recyclable bottle made with clean energy, reflecting the brand’s deep connection to public lands. Since 2018, Yellowstone has donated over $1 million to the National Parks Conservation Association, and this latest launch continues that mission—inviting drinkers to take their bourbon to the park, the trail, or the patio, without leaving a trace.
Rolling out now at select retailers nationwide for $24.99, the Yellowstone Cocktails collection is as much a toast to convenience as it is to conservation. To buy them online, head over to ReserveBar.
