On Tuesday, Independent American whiskey bottler Lost Lantern unveiled the Lost Lantern Single Distillery Series.
Unlike Lost Lantern’s Single Cask releases, which comprise bottlings from multiple distilleries, the Single Distillery Series will be single-bottle releases of whiskeys blended from stocks from individual distilleries. This new series will give Lost Lantern an opportunity to show that it can blend as well as select.
The Lost Lantern Single Distillery Series will debut April 26 with three American single malt whiskeys: “Gentle Giant” Balcones Distilling Texas Single Malt, “Desert Dessert” Whiskey Del Bac Arizona Single Malt and “Mega Mesquite” Whiskey Del Bac Arizona Single Malt. Each whiskey is priced at $100 per 750-milliliter bottle.
The releases will be available for purchase online at LostLanternWhiskey.com and Seelbachs.com, as well as at select retailers in California, New York and Alberta, Canada.

The following three whiskeys are the first releases in the Lost Lantern Single Distillery Series
Lost Lantern ‘Gentle Giant’ Balcones Distilling Texas Single Malt
This single malt is composed of whiskeys aged in European oak casks, an ex-bourbon barrel and ex-apple brandy casks. It is bottled at 115.2 proof, and 1,100 bottles will be available.
Lost Lantern ‘Desert Dessert’ Whiskey Del Bac Arizona Single Malt
Bottled at 113.8 proof, this whiskey is made with Whiskey Del Bac’s mesquite-smoked mashbill and partly finished in Sauternes and Pineau des Charentes casks. Four hundred and fifty bottles will be available.
Lost Lantern ‘Mega Mesquite’ Whiskey Del Bac Arizona Single Malt
A blend of three heavily mesquite-smoked casks, this is the most limited of the series, with only 180 bottles available. It is also the highest-proof of the trio, at 120.
While this first release in the Single Distillery Series is composed solely of single malts, Lost Lantern said future releases will range across all styles of American whiskey. The series will continue later this year.
