Yellowstone is a historic pre-prohibition bourbon brand, created by J.B. Dant at the Gesthemane distillery, although was associated more closely with Yellowstone distillery (producer of Ezra Brooks) and its owners, the Thompson family (of Glenmore distillery).
Following the closure of Yellowstone by its new owners in the 1990s, United Distillers, the brand was eventually procured by Luxco who, as with all of their products, have it distilled and bottled under contract at Heaven Hill.
In 2015, Paul and Steve Beam, descendents of the Beam and Dant families, reached an agreement with Luxco to begin producing the brand at their new Limestone Branch distillery. This was bottled there, although this is still Heaven Hill whiskey in the bottle.
Bottled by the Yellowstone Distillery CO in from St Louis, Missouri and named after the world famous national park.
The brand was created by J B Dant, using liquid produced at the J B Dant Distillery. At some point in the 1880s, the Yellowstone distillery began operating and the brand was produced there until the 1990s.
The liquid is now produced and aged at Heaven Hill distillery under contract.
