The inaugural Recollection release is \u003cstrong\u003eaged 8 years and bottled at a robust 110 proof (55% ABV)\u003c\/strong\u003e, giving it considerably more muscle and concentration than the standard Yellowstone lineup. The ornate bottle is part of the story, too: it recreates the elaborate Yellowstone back-bar decanters used in saloons and restaurants in the late 1800s, complete with the Yellowstone Lower Falls imagery. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe nose is immediately inviting and unmistakably bourbon: \u003cstrong\u003evanilla crème brûlée, dark cherry and caramel\u003c\/strong\u003e, backed by toasted and lightly charred oak. Give it a little time in the glass and richer notes of brown sugar, vanilla custard, dried fruit and baking spice emerge. Despite the 110 proof, the aromatic profile leans more toward richness and mature sweetness than raw alcohol. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the palate, it gets even better. \u003cstrong\u003eCaramel and butterscotch\u003c\/strong\u003e lead, followed by dark cherry, brown sugar and a substantial wave of sweet cinnamon spice. Eight years in oak gives it enough structure to balance all that sweetness, bringing toasted wood and a slightly drying tannic edge through the middle. At full proof, it has a satisfyingly rich, warming presence without becoming an outright barrel-proof bruiser. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe finish turns darker and spicier, with \u003cstrong\u003emocha, cherry, toasted oak and cinnamon candy\u003c\/strong\u003e, eventually picking up hints of grain and chocolate. The signature combination here is really \u003cstrong\u003ebutterscotch + dark cherry + cinnamon + mature oak\u003c\/strong\u003e—classic Kentucky flavors delivered with considerably more intensity than your everyday bourbon. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere’s also a fun historical angle that makes this particularly good for the shelf or as a gift. Yellowstone traces its roots to the 1870s, and Recollection deliberately looks backward rather than presenting itself as some ultra-modern experimental whiskey. The result feels appropriately traditional: \u003cstrong\u003eeight-year age statement, serious proof, mature oak and an unapologetically classic bourbon flavor profile\u003c\/strong\u003e, packaged in one of the more distinctive decanter-style bottles on the market.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BREAKTHRU","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51672467996978,"sku":"088352142487","price":69.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0044\/7165\/2425\/files\/YellowstoneColl.png?v=1787972780","url":"https:\/\/www.vintagewinemerchants.com\/products\/yellowstone-kentucky-straight-bourbon-whiskey-recollection-series","provider":"Vintage Wine Merchants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
