Wyoming Whiskey Launches Queen of the Tetons | One More Dram
News
Wyoming Whiskey has announced the launch of Queen of the Tetons, a limited edition bourbon dedicated to the legendary Grizzly 399, the bear who was tragically killed in a car accident near Grand Teton National Park on October 22, 2024.
An icon of the Greater Yellowstone ecosystem, Grizzly 399 attracted countless tourists and photographers eager to catch a glimpse of the 7-foot, 400-pound matriarch. At 28 years old, she was the region’s oldest known reproducing female grizzly, spending much of her life near the Snake River and raising 18 known cubs.
In conjunction with the launch of Wyoming Whiskey’s Queen of the Tetons, the brand will be donating $20,000 to the Grand Teton National Park Foundation to protect and preserve the wild habitats that bears like Grizzly 399 call home. The funds will support grizzly bear education, conservation, and research programs in Grand Teton National Park.
Wyoming Whiskey Queen of the Tetons is bottled at 49.5% ABV (99 proof) and is described as having aromas of “honey and ripe field berries, layered with a gentle dusting of cinnamon spice.” The palate reveals flavors of “white chocolate mocha, with notes of red fruit and rich brown sugar.” The finish exhibits “lingering hints of candied ginger and soft vanilla.”
Queen of the Tetons – which features an image of Grizzly 399 shot by renowned nature photographer Thomas Mangelsen – is limited to fewer than 720 bottles. It’s available exclusively at Wyoming Whiskey’s Jackson Barrel House in Jackson, WY, the Wyoming Whiskey Shop in Kirby, WY, and select retailers across the state of Wyoming for a suggested retail price of $84.99.
To continue to support the Grand Teton National Park Foundation, and in memory of Grizzly 399, the 399th bottle of this limited release will be auctioned off to benefit the foundation. To stay up to date on the auction, sign up for the newsletter on the Wyoming Whiskey website.

Drones and robot deployed in Wyoming County standoff; Man dead from apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound
CASTILE, N.Y. — A tense situation unfolded on South Main Street in the Village of Castile on Friday at 4 p.m. The Wyoming County Sheriff’s Office responded to a report of a suicidal man armed with a handgun after a domestic incident.
Deputies established phone contact with the man, who confirmed he had a loaded handgun. Negotiations began, but during the process, the man left the home and fired a shot across South Main Street toward law enforcement.
A SWAT team was called to the scene, and negotiations continued for several hours. South Main Street was closed for nearly seven hours during the standoff.
After the man stopped communicating with authorities, drones were used and they found no activity inside. A robot was then sent in, where the man was found dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
The name of the man has not been released.
