Today, Yellowstone Bourbon, the historic bourbon brand known for its rich Kentucky heritage, announced the launch of Yellowstone Cocktails, a new offering of premium ready-to-serve cocktails. Made with award-winning Yellowstone Kentucky Straight Bourbon and all-natural ingredients, Yellowstone Cocktails feature modern flavours to meet the needs and tastes of today’s whiskey-drinkers, and cater to the increased demand of consumers looking for convenient, high-quality and spirits-based ready-to-serve options.
Yellowstone Cocktails offer a versatile and elevated drinking experience rooted in 150 years of bourbon expertise. Dating back to 1872 when it was first distilled by Joseph Dant as a tribute to America’s first national park, Yellowstone Bourbon has become known for its smooth, high-quality whiskey while embracing innovation in making premium small-batch bourbons. Crafted under the supervision of Stephen Beam, seventh-generation Master Distiller at Limestone Branch Distillery, home of Yellowstone Bourbon, Yellowstone Cocktails are designed for those who appreciate and expect quality with ease.
“We created Yellowstone Cocktails to bring the rich character of our bourbon into flavourful, ready-to-serve formats that fit into the on-the-go lifestyle of today’s consumer,” said Beam. “Each expression is designed to highlight the depth and versatility of our whiskey, and offers an effortless way to enjoy a quality cocktail wherever the moment takes you.”
Every bottle delivers a bold, bourbon-forward taste in a convenient, shareable 750mL format, equivalent to six standard cocktails. The line-up of Yellowstone Cocktails includes:
- Gold Rush: A rush of fig honey, and lemon—this cocktail combines classic flavours with a fresh, modern twist. The sweetness of fig honey is balanced by the brightness of fresh lemon, offering a sophisticated yet contemporary experience. (ABV 25%, SRP $24.99)
- Old Fashioned: The Old Fashioned combines blood orange, bitters, and cherry for a refreshing take on a classic. The bright tang of blood orange adds a lively contrast to the bitters, while the rich cherry finish brings a touch of sweetness and depth. (ABV 35%, SRP $24.99)
- Espresso: A perfect kick of coffee, vanilla, and raisin, this bourbon-based, ready-to-serve espresso drink combines the rich, robust flavour of espresso with the smoothness of bourbon, creating a bold, indulgent treat for coffee lovers. The warmth of vanilla and raisin add depth and complexity to every sip. (ABV 25%, SRP $24.99)
True to Yellowstone Bourbon’s values, the cocktails were crafted with the intention to be enjoyed in moments outside - whether that be in a national park or in your local city park - and with sustainability at heart. Each lightweight, spill-proof bottle is made using clean energy and packaged in fully recyclable materials, allowing drinkers to savour the great outdoors while helping to preserve it. Since 2018, Yellowstone Bourbon has partnered with the National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA) in a shared mission to protect our nation’s public lands. Over the past seven years, the brand has donated $1,000,000 to help preserve national parks and inspire the next generation of park advocates.
"As a company, we are proud of our ongoing commitment to sustainability and our partnership with the NPCA,” added Beam. "We believe in protecting the lands that inspired our brand, and with the launch of Yellowstone Cocktails, we aim to continue that commitment by offering a product that allows people to enjoy our bourbon in a convenient and eco-conscious way.”
Yellowstone Cocktails will be rolling out on shelves at select retailers nationwide and will be available online, at a suggested retail price of $24.99.
