Yellowstone Bourbon announced a commemorative barrel pick program for 2026. Featuring a limited quantity of only 250 barrels in honor of the 250^th anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence to establish the United States of America in 1776, Yellowstone Bourbon Hand Picked Single Barrel 2026 features tributes to America’s forefathers, from the bourbon itself to its patriotic packaging. 

Each of the 250 barrels of Yellowstone Single Barrel 2026 is aged 7 years and Bottled-in-Bond, signifying its authenticity and purity and highlighting the bond of the seven founding forefathers. The proof point of 100 – 50% ABV – is a tribute to the 50 United States. 

To commemorate its barrel pick, each account will receive a displayable barrel complete with a Yellowstone-branded placard showcasing the unique barrel number. 

Once selected and bottled, each account will receive its shipment of 2026 Yellowstone Single Barrel 750mL bottles packaged in specially designed patriotic-themed cases. Adorned in decorative corrugated bottle tubes that include a fully-wrapped replica of the Declaration of Independence, each bottle displays a commemorative label featuring the 7-year age statement, Bottled-in-Bond designation and patriotic graphics celebrating 250 years of independence as a nation. 

Accounts can plan for their Yellowstone Single Barrel 2026 barrel pick bottles to be available on shelf in early summer for a minimum suggested retail price of $69.99. 

“We wanted to offer something really special to our customers with our 2026 Yellowstone Hand Picked Single Barrel program while paying tribute to our founding fathers who established our nation 250 years ago,” Yellowstone Bourbon Master Distiller Stephen Beam said in a news release. “We’re proud to have deep roots in America’s bourbon history and heritage in Kentucky as the only brand named for the first national park.

About Yellowstone Bourbon

Founded by pioneer distiller Joseph Bernard Dant, Yellowstone Bourbon was named after the United States’ first national park in 1872. In 2011, seventh-generation Master Distiller Stephen Beam – a descendant of both the historic Dant and Beam distilling families – founded Lebanon, Kentucky-based Limestone Branch Distillery and resurrected the Yellowstone brand with the creation of Yellowstone Select Bourbon.
