Dant (son of J.W. Dant), it was also one of the largest selling brands in the 1960’s.

Steve Beam and his brother James (Paul) Beam Jr. opened the Limestone Branch Distillery in 2011. Luxco recently purchased a 50% share in Limestone Branch Distillery. However, Luxco has owned the Yellowstone brand since the early 1990’s.

Distiller Stephen Beam tells BourbonBlog.com that Yellowstone has been on the shelves in some capacity up until this past year when it was pulled in anticipation for the rerelease.

Luxco says that since high school, it has been a dream for Steve Beam to return to Yellowstone brand back to his family.
