KIRBY, Wyo. (Sept. 9, 2024) –– Wyoming’s first legal distillery, Wyoming Whiskey, is proud to announce the launch of National Parks No. 4 and Old Faithful Straight Bourbon Whiskies.
The Wyoming Whiskey National Parks No. 4 Straight Bourbon Whiskey – Mammoth Hot Springs, Yellowstone National Park bottle is the fourth collectible, limited-edition release in the brand’s annual National Park Series. A blend of more than 70 carefully chosen barrels pulledfrom various areas of the Wyoming Whiskey warehouse, the whiskey is aged for a minimum of five years and showcases flavors of vanilla, candied ginger and crème caramel, with a honeysuckle finish. The straight bourbon whiskey celebrates Yellowstone National Park, a place of natural wonder boasting half of the world’s known hydrothermal features, including Mammoth Hot Springs. This ever-changing system of travertine terraces has been formed over thousands of years, and Wyoming Whiskey’s National Parks No. 4 release is a tribute to the park’s unique and evolving landscape.
Old Faithful is a limited-edition whiskey that honors Yellowstone National Park, the iconic Old Faithful geyser and legendary photographer F. Jay Haynes with the latest installment in Wyoming Whiskey’s Wide-Open Spaces series. The whiskey is a blend of three specifically selected standout barrels and has been thoughtfully aged for 10 years, resulting in a depth of flavor showcasing notes of baking spices, orange peel, toffee and Black Forest cake with crushed almonds. As one of the most unique natural environments on earth, known for its extraordinary geothermal features, Yellowstone is home to the world’s most famous geyser, Old Faithful. Honoring the incredible natural wonder, the limited-edition Old Faithful bourbon features a label showcasing an image by F. Jay Haynes, who spent his life capturing the awe-inspiring sights of Yellowstone to share with the world.
Wyoming Whiskey is proud to support Yellowstone Forever, the official nonprofit partner of Yellowstone National Park. In conjunction with the release of National Parks No. 4 and Old Faithful, Wyoming Whiskey has donated $150,000 to Yellowstone Forever in support of the foundation’s efforts to protect, preserve and enhance America’s first national park.
Wyoming Whiskey co-founder David DeFazio shares, “National Parks No. 4 has been crafted from barrels specifically selected to continue the distinctive flavor profile of our National Parks Series, celebrating the adventurous spirit of these treasured wide-open spaces.

I’m excited to share these new releases with our loyal Wyoming Whiskey fans and supporters of Yellowstone National Park.”
