The Virginia ABC along with Stephen Fante – named 2022 Best Brand Ambassador by Fred Minnick - selected Yellowstone Hand Pick Collection barrels through a unique barrel sampling process where each barrel sampled was tasted at 3 different proofs (109, 115 and 119). This allowed for the team to determine the proof that provided the optimal flavor profile on each barrel selected. The 115 proof option shows that when it comes to the three options of proof in this selection process, the Goldilocks approach might be the way to go… not too high, not too low… this barrel proof is JUST RIGHT.
