This week I'm reviewing Yellowstone Select Bourbon and talking about their limited edition Landmark Series bottles to celebrate Limestone Branch Distillery and the 150th anniversary of the Yellowstone Bourbon Brand. Plus, I'm taking a deep dive into a new case study about the bourbon industry in Kentucky, which is bringing in over $9 billion a year. Finally, we're taking a look at the White Oak Initiative and how they're advocating to save our dwindling resource of white oak trees, which may disappear in the next decade and change the bourbon industry forever.
