Wyoming Whiskey National Parks No. 3 Limited Edition Bourbon
Wyoming Whiskey National Parks No. 3 Limited Edition Bourbon is the third annual National Parks release: a wheated bourbon aged a minimum of 5 years, listed at 105 proof (52.5% ABV), honouring Grand Teton National Park — and it is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.
Wyoming Whiskey's annual National Parks collection partners with the National Park Foundation and individual park foundations. No. 3 honours Grand Teton — the 310,000-acre park beneath the 13,770-foot peak, where the Snake River winds through the label concept — a park central to the founders' identity: co-founders Brad and Kate Mead once ran cattle drives across park land. The 2023 release included a $150,000 donation to the Grand Teton National Park Foundation's preservation work. The bourbon is Wyoming Whiskey's wheated house style — 68% corn / 20% wheat / 12% malted barley, no rye in the recipe — distilled and bottled in Kirby, Wyoming.
Tasting notes: polished mahogany in colour; rich chocolate, aged leather, vanilla, orange peel, and strawberry ice cream on the nose; floral, brown baking spices, vanilla crème, caramel, cinnamon, orange candy, and maple sugar on the palate; a smooth finish with lingering black pepper, sweet honey, and light oak. (91 points, Whisky Advocate.)
Why buy No. 3? Because it is the Grand Teton edition of Wyoming Whiskey's annual parks series — a wheated, minimum-5-year bourbon that helped fund $150,000 of park preservation. Browse the Wyoming Whiskey brand collection, more bourbon, and other American whisky.
Serving note: neat to taste the wheated softness; a splash of water opens the chocolate and spice.
