Wyoming Whiskey is once again delivering a remarkable spirit with the release of National Parks No. 5 Straight Bourbon Whiskey. This isn’t just a bourbon; it’s a tribute to the grandeur of America’s national parks, specifically Grand Teton and Yellowstone.
Bottled at a robust 96 proof (48% ABV) and priced at $74.99, No. 5 is a five-year-old creation that immediately impresses. But the story goes far beyond the bottle. Wyoming Whiskey has forged a powerful partnership with the Grand Teton National Park Foundation, pledging a significant $50,000 donation towards vital park preservation efforts.
This commitment is already yielding tangible results. Over 10 miles of the iconic Teton Crest Trail have been meticulously restored, thanks in part to the dedication of 250 volunteers who contributed over 17,000 hours to resource stewardship. Moreover, the funds have supported critical engagement programs for 350 Indigenous youth, fostering a new generation of environmental stewards.
But let’s talk about the whiskey itself. The tasting notes reveal a remarkably balanced profile, showcasing mellowed corn, rich oak, and subtle caramel undertones. Remarkably, considering its five-year aging process, No. 5 offers a surprisingly gentle character. The palate delivers hints of rye bread, a delicate touch of charcoal, and a creamy whisper of milk chocolate. The finish is beautifully buttery, with a medium hold of corn sugar and oak, carrying a nuanced earthy sweetness reminiscent of oatmeal.
According to Charles Steele, a Wyoming attorney and whiskey enthusiast deeply involved in the distillery’s operations, Wyoming’s unique climate plays a crucial role. Seasonal variations accelerate maturation, leading to a complex and intensely flavored spirit. “The snowmelt and warm days combined with the cool nights truly allow our whiskey to shine,” Steele explains.
National Parks No. 5 Straight Bourbon Whiskey is slated for release in Wyoming retailers beginning November 20, 2025, with nationwide delivery available through wyomingwhiskey.com starting December 2025. This is more than just a drink; it’s a celebration of American wilderness and a commitment to its future.
