The launch of this expression makes the previously limited distillery exclusive available to a wider national audience. The Recollection Bourbon is [non-chill filtered and bottled at 110 proof](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highproof-bourbon), offering classic Kentucky bourbon notes of vanilla crème brûlée and dark cherry on the nose. These nuances are followed by caramel, butterscotch, and charred oak on the palate, with a finish that brings grain, mocha, and sweet cinnamon candy alongside the brand's signature cherry character. The meticulous attention to detail is overseen by seventh-generation Master Distiller Stephen Beam. The decanter itself features the iconic Yellowstone Lower Falls and period-appropriate embossing. The product, thus, serves as a tangible connection to the brand's origins in the late nineteenth century, when such bottles adorned saloons across the country.
