Wyoming is a land of extremes … soaring peaks, vast plains, and a rugged climate that shapes everything within it, including its whiskey. Wyoming Whiskey’s National Parks No. 4 is a testament to the untamed beauty of the state and a fitting tribute to the wide-open spaces it helps protect.
A spirit forged by the elements
As Wyoming’s first legal distillery, Wyoming Whiskey has spent years perfecting the art of high-plains bourbon. What sets National Parks No. 4 apart is its remarkable maturation process.
Wyoming’s scorching summers and bone-chilling winters force the #4 charred oak barrels to expand and contract dramatically, infusing the whiskey with deep layers of caramel, vanilla, and rich spice. The result? A bourbon that is bold yet exceptionally smooth, the essence of the barrel taking center stage in every sip.
Neat is the only way
National Parks No. 4 is not a whiskey that needs dilution. The nose is immediately inviting, with warm notes of toasted oak, dark honey, and a hint of dried fruit. On the palate, waves of butterscotch and toffee unfold, balanced by the grounding presence of seasoned wood and a whisper of Wyoming’s wild terrain. The finish? Long, warm, and lingering, just the way a good whiskey should be. This is a pour best enjoyed neat, allowing its rich complexity to shine without distraction.
More than a whiskey, it’s a mission
Beyond crafting exceptional bourbon, Wyoming Whiskey is deeply committed to preserving the landscapes that inspire it. Wyoming Whiskey donated $150,000 to Yellowstone Forever upon the release of National Parks No. 4, a benefit to the foundations that help maintain Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks, ensuring these wild spaces remain protected for generations to come.
Final verdict
National Parks No. 4 is more than just a whiskey; it’s an experience, a journey through the rugged heart of Wyoming with each sip. Whether you’re a seasoned bourbon aficionado or a casual enthusiast, this is a bottle worth savoring … slowly, with reverence, and preferably, under a vast Western sky.
