As the holiday season approaches, Yellowstone Bourbon is bringing exciting news for bourbon enthusiasts with the announcement of its 2024 Bourbon Giftpack. This new release combines three distinct and award-winning bourbons from the Yellowstone family, offering something special for both seasoned bourbon lovers and those looking to explore premium spirits. The 2024 Bourbon Giftpack will be available nationwide at local retailers, with a minimum suggested price of $49.99.
Packaged in an eye-catching decorative box, the gift pack includes three different 375mL bottles: Yellowstone Select, Yellowstone Special Finishes Collection Toasted, and Yellowstone Special Finishes Collection Rum Cask. This is the first time that Yellowstone has offered a multi-bottle set, and it is also the first occasion where these three expressions are available together in smaller sizes. This unique offering makes for a fantastic holiday gift or an excellent addition to any bourbon lover’s collection.
A Bourbon Gift for All Occasions
Kelly Panzitta, brand manager for Yellowstone Bourbon, described the 2024 Giftpack as "the perfect holiday gift for fans of premium bourbon and outdoor enthusiasts alike." Panzitta emphasized that the gift pack not only provides a chance to sample some of Yellowstone's best award-winning bourbons, but it also invites newcomers to bourbon to try premium offerings without a steep price tag. She added that the three different bourbons in the set offer a great opportunity for mixing up creative cocktails and celebrating the rich history and flavors of the Yellowstone brand.
The Bourbons in the 2024 Giftpack
Yellowstone Select
At the forefront of the 2024 Giftpack is Yellowstone Select, which serves as the brand’s flagship Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. Having been awarded Double Gold at the 2024 SIP Awards, this bourbon is known for its well-rounded flavor and balanced complexity. Yellowstone Select is a blend of 4- and 7-year bourbons, which is bottled at 93 proof (46.5% ABV).
On the nose, this bourbon introduces a rich aroma of rye spice and cherries. The palate follows up with notes of smoked caramel, vanilla, and a touch of honey, making it a smooth and approachable option. Its finish brings out smoky oak and brown sugar, leaving a lasting impression. Yellowstone Select is ideal for those who enjoy classic bourbon flavors with a touch of depth and character.
Yellowstone Special Finishes Collection Toasted
The second bottle in the Giftpack is Yellowstone Special Finishes Collection Toasted, another standout that earned a Double Gold medal at the 2024 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. This 100-proof (50% ABV) bourbon builds on the base of Yellowstone Select by finishing the whiskey with toasted oak staves, which give it a distinct, rich profile.
Fans of toasted barrel finishes will appreciate the added complexity this bourbon brings. The nose offers inviting hints of toasted caramel, vanilla, fall spices, and cinnamon. Once sipped, flavors of walnut, toffee, black tea, and white pepper develop on the palate, creating a warm and flavorful experience. The finish is crisp, with notes of cocoa and tobacco rounding out the taste.
Yellowstone Special Finishes Collection Rum Cask
Last but not least is the Yellowstone Special Finishes Collection Rum Cask, a unique expression that sets itself apart with a Platinum award from the 2024 ASCOT Awards. This bourbon is finished in rum cask barrels from Havana, Cuba, adding a tropical twist to the Yellowstone family. Like the Toasted edition, it’s bottled at 100 proof (50% ABV), delivering a bold flavor experience.
The rum cask finish imparts a range of exotic flavors, starting with an aroma of gingerbread, poached pear, and fresh-cut hay. On the palate, you’ll find a delightful combination of toasted marshmallow, crème brûlée, and toffee, with an underlying layer of toasted oak. The finish lingers with notes of honey, tobacco, clove, and cocoa-seasoned oak, making it an ideal option for bourbon fans who enjoy a sweet and spicy profile.
Why the Yellowstone Bourbon Giftpack Stands Out
One of the most exciting aspects of the 2024 Yellowstone Bourbon Giftpack is the range of flavors and experiences it offers in one convenient package. Each of the three bourbons included has its own unique profile, ensuring that there is something to suit different tastes. The set not only showcases Yellowstone's expertise in crafting quality bourbon, but it also allows people to enjoy limited-edition finishes like the Toasted and Rum Cask without having to purchase full-sized bottles.
Additionally, at a price point of just $49.99, the gift pack offers tremendous value, considering the quality of the bourbons included and the prestige of their awards. It’s a great way for bourbon enthusiasts to sample several different expressions, or for newcomers to get introduced to the brand with variety and depth.
For those looking to impress during the holidays, this gift pack also stands out as a visually appealing choice. The decorative packaging ensures it will look as good on a shelf as it will taste in a glass.
The Perfect Holiday Gift for Bourbon Lovers
As the 2024 holiday season approaches, Yellowstone's new Bourbon Giftpack presents itself as a thoughtful and accessible gift for any bourbon fan. Whether it’s shared over a cozy evening with friends, used to create innovative cocktails, or given as a gift, this multi-bottle set is sure to bring warmth and enjoyment. With the inclusion of Yellowstone’s award-winning Select, Toasted, and Rum Cask expressions, the gift pack offers both diversity and quality that can’t be overlooked.
If you're searching for a holiday gift for the bourbon enthusiast in your life, or simply want to treat yourself to something special, the Yellowstone 2024 Bourbon Giftpack is a perfect choice to kick off the season. Keep an eye out for this special release at retailers nationwide, and enjoy the unique flavors and craftsmanship that Yellowstone Bourbon has to offer.
