Wyoming Whiskey National Parks No. 2 Small Batch Bourbon
Wyoming Whiskey · Wyoming Whiskey Distillery
Wyoming Whiskey has quietly improved with every release, and this National Parks bottling shows a distillery hitting its stride. The higher proof carries the corn-forward sweetness without letting it become cloying. An honest, well-made bourbon that rewards a second pour.
Kit Aromas
Nose
Warm caramel and toasted corn open the nose, followed by a layer of dried orange peel and soft vanilla. A faint herbal note, almost sage-like, anchors the sweetness with an earthy counterweight.
Palate
The entry is buttery and round, with butterscotch and oak arriving in tandem. Mid-palate brings a pleasant rye spice that cuts through the richness, while roasted pecan adds depth and texture.
Finish
Medium-long with charred oak and lingering caramel, resolving into a gentle, dry warmth.

Food Pairing
The bourbon's charred oak and butterscotch complement the smoky bark and rendered fat of brisket, with pickled jalapeño slaw cutting through both.
Distilled from grain grown on the volcanic soils of Wyoming's Big Horn Basin, Wyoming Whiskey was founded in 2009 by a cattle rancher determined to prove the West could rival Kentucky.

Bluegrass Distillers proves that discipline yields beauty.

Legent Kentucky Straight Bourbon Partially Finished in Wine & Sherry Casks
Legent
Legent represents a rare East-meets-West collaboration between Beam's master distiller Fred Noe and Suntory's chief blender Shinji Fukuyo, where the simple act of exposing bourbon to different cask atmospheres transforms the spirit entirely. The partial finishing in wine and sherry barrels allows air and wood to reshape a classic bourbon profile into something layered and cosmopolitan. A compelling expression of how environment—the breath between barrels—shapes what ends up in your glass.
