On Tuesday, independent American whiskey bottler Lost Lantern announced its latest single-cask collection, composed of four whiskeys — two American single malts, one bourbon and one rye — from three distilleries.
Three of the whiskeys are 7 years old, while the fourth has been aged eight years.
“Distilleries that began experimenting and exploring new ideas a decade or more ago have now proven that those ideas work,” Lost Lantern founders Nora Ganley-Roper and Adam Polonski said in a news release. “Once, Pacific Northwest single malt, estate-grown rye whiskey, and thriving urban distilleries were just intriguing ideas with a lot of potential. But today, they have become realities, thanks to years of dedicated effort and commitment on the part of the country’s most innovative distilleries. The Spring 2023 Collection is emblematic of the growing maturity of innovation in the American whiskey world.”
Lost Lantern’s Spring 2023 Single Cask Collection will be available for sale starting March 1 on LostLanternWhiskey.com, Seelbachs.com and at select retailers in California and Alberta, Canada.
