Wyoming 1872 Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Wyoming Whiskey 1872 is a 150-bottle collector's edition from the distillery in Kirby, Wyoming, released to mark the first 150 years of Yellowstone National Park and named for March 1, 1872, the day President Ulysses S. Grant signed the act that created it. Wyoming Whiskey was founded by Brad and Kate Mead, whose family came to Wyoming as ranchers in 1890, and attorney David DeFazio, who recruited Bourbon Hall of Famer Steve Nally from Kentucky as founding distiller. For 1872 the distillery batched nine-year-old straight bourbon, 93% from its wheated mashbill and 7% from its rye recipe, and bottled it uncut at 116 proof (58% ABV). The label carries a William Henry Jackson photograph, each bottle ships in a custom leather carrying case, and proceeds went to Yellowstone Forever, up to $150,000. The distillery's own notes describe copper and hazelnut color, a nose of orange marmalade, buttercream, lemon peel, pound cake, marshmallow and fresh pomegranate, a full body of caramelized honey, grilled pear, green tea, roasted fig and mandarin, and a finish of grapefruit rind, licorice and cracked black pepper. It is one of the rarest bourbons Wyoming Whiskey has made.
