Lost Lantern announced on Wednesday the launch of a brand-new tasting room and production facility in Vergennes, Vermont that is set to open to the public on Friday.
The facility offers guests the opportunity to taste Lost Lantern’s offerings and purchase bottles from the company that bottles whiskeys from indie distilleries around the U.S.
“Although we are not a distillery and will never be, we’re excited to bring all our blending and bottling in-house,” Lost Lantern co-founder Nora Ganley-Roper said in a news release. “Until now, we have been fortunate to work with great contract partners to help us bottle. However, having our facility gives us more flexibility as we expand on the successes of our Lost Lantern Blend Series and Single Distillery Series. Additionally, the new space allows us to rapidly ramp up our private barrel program to offer retailers and whiskey clubs a wide range of unique single cask offerings from distilleries across the country.”
As for what co-founders Ganley-Roper and Adam Polinski are most excited about with the new facilities, both claimed to be big fans of the forklift. Gainley-Roper expressed she loves driving it around the new facilities, while Polonski likes seeing her drive it around — despite the fact he chooses to maintain a safe distance.
Gainley-Roper also says the new facilities were particularly meaningful for her since she grew up in Vergennes, Vermont.
Lost Lantern provides guests with the following opportunities to taste and learn about its whiskies, and each flight includes four whiskies for guests to taste.
“We are so excited to be launching the Lost Lantern Tasting Room; this new space will allow us to really introduce Lost Lantern to Vermont residents and visitors for the first time,” Ganley-Roper said. “We will offer curated flights of whiskies from across the country, allowing customers to taste the full range of what Lost Lantern has available.”
