Yellowstone Hollywood Beverage Pick

Yellowstone's Hand Picked Collection gives individual retailers the opportunity to select a single barrel, making each release unique to the group that chose it. This particular seven year old barrel, No. 7869876, was selected by Hollywood Beverage, our neighbors in Gladstone, Oregon, and bottled at 115 proof. Yellowstone offers its Hand Picked barrels at multiple proof points, allowing the character of each individual barrel to determine where it shows best.

The classic Yellowstone Hand Picked profile brings rye spice and soft cherry on the nose, followed by smoked caramel, vanilla, and honey on the palate. At 115 proof, expect plenty of intensity and warmth, with smoky oak and brown sugar carrying through the finish. Because this is a true single barrel, Barrel No. 7869876 will have its own nuances beyond the broader profile of the Hand Picked Collection.

For a pairing that can hold its own against a bold 115 proof bourbon, pour this Yellowstone alongside our Prime Rib (available exclusively on Friday nights). The whiskey's smoky oak and rye spice complement the deeply savory beef, while its caramel, vanilla, and honey notes provide a rich contrast. The higher proof also gives it enough structure to cut through the richness of the prime rib rather than disappearing beside it.
