Yellowstone Bourbon
In 1872, Yellowstone was the name given to a 1854 brand of Kentucky Bourbon produced by the J B Dant Distillery (Cold Springs Distillery, Gethsemane, Kentucky) to honor the first national park.[1]
In 1920, Yellowstone Bourbon is bottled for "medicinal purposes only" during prohibition.[2]
In the 1960s, Yellowstone is the largest selling brand in Kentucky.[3]
In 1991, Guinness acquired Glenmore Distillery Company.[4]
In 1993, the Yellowstone Bourbon Brand was sold to Heaven Hill and the distillery was sold to Florida Distillers.[5]
