Lost Lantern recently released its Fall 2022 collection, featuring five limited-edition single casks from Boulder Spirits, Cedar Ridge Distillery, Copperworks Distilling, and Breuckelen Distilling.
Co-Founders Nora Ganley-Roper and Adam Polonski chose to focus on a theme of “discovery” when they selected the whiskies to be released in the Fall 2022 Collection. “All the single casks in this collection come from distilleries that are locally or regionally beloved and very highly regarded, but not that widely available outside of their home markets. With this Collection, we want to help whiskey drinkers discover some really unique whiskies from distilleries they may have heard of, but not been able to actually get their hands on until now,” said Polonski.
Boulder Spirits was founded by Scotsman Alastair Brogan, who has brought Scottish whisky making traditions to the Rockies. Made from 100% peated Scottish barley, Boulder Spirits Peated Colorado Single Malt Whiskey was aged for 5 years in new oak. Boulder’s high altitude tends to result in high-proof spirits. It was bottled at its natural cask strength of 148.94 proof.
Cedar Ridge Iowa 5-Year-Old Straight Bourbon Whiskey is Lost Lantern’s second bourbon from the family-owned distillery. Made from 74% corn, 14% rye, and 12% malted barley, this straight bourbon whiskey was aged for 5 years.
Cedar Ridge is one of the few distilleries to regularly distill malted rye whiskey, which is made with germinated rye grain. Its Iowa 6-Year-Old Straight Malted Rye Whiskey, made with 51% malted rye, 34% rye, 12% corn, and 3% malted barley.
Founded by brewers, Copperworks brings craft beer’s precision and commitment to local ingredients to distilling. The Seattle distillery works closely with local farms to source its grain, leading to whiskies that truly reflect the climate of the Pacific Northwest. Its Washington Single Malt (Single Farm, Single Variety) was made from a single variety of barley called Baronesse, grown on a single farm, the family-owned Joseph’s Grainery in Colfax, WA.
Founded in 2010 in Brooklyn, Breuckelen Distilling has been making unique and delicious whiskies that push the boundaries of traditional whiskey styles since its inception. Made with 100% malted red wheat, its 8-Year-Old New York Malted Wheat Whiskey is the oldest single cask Lost Lantern has released to date.
Single casks are an essential piece of the Lost Lantern model, inspired by the long tradition of independent bottlers in Scotland. Since its debut in October 2020, Lost Lantern has released 36 one-of-a-kind single casks from 18 of the finest distilleries in the United States.
