Our friends at Yellowstone Bourbon have re-upped their partnership with the National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA) and made a new $250,000 donation to the group. That brings the total amount donated to more than $1 million since 2018. Yellowstone Bourbon was named after the national park in 1872.

To mark this new landmark, Yellowstone Bourbon and the NPCA said they “will launch a new video series designed to share examples of park protection impacts made possible by the partnership.” The initial video will be highlight the protection of 600,000 acres of public land in the California desert.

“Our national parks protect awe-inspiring landscapes, unique plants and wildlife, and spaces in nature for us to connect with ourselves, and our communities,” said Theresa Pierno, President and CEO for National Parks Conservation Association. “Our long-standing partnership with Yellowstone Bourbon has supported many national park victories, and we’re thrilled to celebrate this donation milestone and its impact on these special places.”

"Both bourbon and national parks have a unique way of bringing people together, creating shared experiences and lasting memories. Reaching the $1 million donation milestone is a testament to the power of partnerships and our commitment to protecting these treasured landscapes. As a brand with a 150-year legacy, we are proud to continue supporting NPCA in their mission to safeguard our national parks for future generations to explore and enjoy."

About Yellowstone Bourbon

(From the distillery) Founded by pioneer distiller Joseph Bernard Dant, Yellowstone Bourbon was named for our country’s very first national park in 1872. In 2011, seventh-generation Master Distiller Stephen Beam – a descendant of both the Dant and Beam distilling families – founded Lebanon, Kentucky-based Limestone Branch Distillery and resurrected the Yellowstone brand with the creation of Yellowstone Select Bourbon. Since 2018, Yellowstone Bourbon has partnered with the National Parks Conservation Association and is one of NPCA’s largest annual corporate sponsors, donating $750,000 to preserve national parks.
