Yellowstone Bourbon announced through its recent partnership renewal with National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA), including an annual donation of more than $250,000, the brand has achieved a monumental partnership milestone with $1 million in total donations to the organization since 2018. 

To celebrate this landmark occasion, NPCA and Yellowstone Bourbon will launch a new video series designed to share examples of park protection impacts made possible by the partnership. The first video in the series debuts Feb. 20 and showcases the significance of protecting over 600,000 acres of public lands in the California desert, as articulated by Luke Basulto, NPCA’s Ruth Hammett California desert program manager. 

Subsequent videos will be released throughout the year via social media and a digital hub where viewers can watch all videos in the series, read more about each area of impact and learn more about NPCA’s partnership with Yellowstone Bourbon. 

“Our national parks protect awe-inspiring landscapes, unique plants and wildlife, and spaces in nature for us to connect with ourselves, and our communities,” Theresa Pierno, President and CEO for National Parks Conservation Association, said in a news release. “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,” Kelly Panzitta, Brand Manager for Yellowstone Bourbon, said. “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.”

Yellowstone Bourbon was named for America’s first national park and continues to commemorate its heritage and connection to national parks through its partnership with NPCA. Over the past seven years, NPCA and Yellowstone Bourbon have partnered on numerous campaigns to protect national parks while inspiring others to take action on behalf of our public lands. 

From a music video series featuring country, folk and Americana musicians performing songs in national parks that inspired them to providing direct support to flood relief efforts in the wake of devastating floods that swept through Yellowstone National Park and the surrounding area in 2022, the partnership has furthered the preservation of parks in myriad ways.

About Yellowstone Bourbon

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 $1 million to preserve national parks.
