Lost Lantern 2024 Spring Collection
|
The Spring 2024 Collection is Lost Lantern's first regional collection, centered on a whiskey region that we think deserves more attention: The Midwest. We think the Midwest is one of the most exciting and dynamic whiskey regions in the United States, yet it's one that whiskey drinkers often overlook. The Midwest Collection is designed to showcase some of these whiskies and help whiskey lovers explore a region that has truly come into its own.
The Collection includes one multi-distillery blend and six single casks.
This is a blend of straight ryes, ranging from four to nine years old, from five of the finest distilleries in the Midwest (Middle West (OH), Starlight (IN), Wollersheim (WI), Cedar Ridge (IA), and Tom's Foolery (OH)). It has bright rye spice and fresh-cut grass on the nose. The palate is spicy, with rich oak and hints of dark chocolate and warm bread.
Starlight is best known for its wide variety of finishes. But we believe their straight bourbon and rye can be just as spectacular. This single cask proves it.
This was aged in a 53-gallon barrel for 6 years, including two years in Vermont. It was made with 60% corn, 20% malted barley, 10% rye, and 10% wheat. It has a rich and creamy nose, with notes of cherry, nutmeg, fresh oak, and chocolate on the palate. Very spicy and full, with a long finish.

This 5-year-old straight bourbon whiskey was made from 66% corn, 22% rye, and 12% malted barley, all locally grown. It has notes of leather, chocolate oranges, and pipe tobacco on the nose, and hints of chocolate mousse, dry grain, and spice-blackened meat on the palate. This is an intense and powerful northern bourbon.
It is Lost Lantern's first release from Wollersheim and first from Wisconsin.
This straight bourbon whiskey was distilled from 70% corn, 20% rye, and 10% malted barley and aged for 5 years in a 53-gallon new American oak barrel. It has warm, sweet notes of nutmeg, cinnamon, and french vanilla on the nose. The palate has a rich and rounded spice, a soft, creamy texture, and notes of milk chocolate and cinnamon rolls. The finish is long and warming.
This is Lost Lantern's first whiskey from FEW Spirits and first from Illinois.
Aged for 9 years in a 53-gallon barrel, this straight rye whiskey was made of 70% winter rye and 30% malted rye. It is remarkably fresh and elegant, with hints of fresh-cut grass and lemon on the nose and rich rye spice, lemon custard, and balanced oak on the palate. It has an extremely long, warm finish.
This single cask is the oldest whiskey Lost Lantern has ever released.

rich chocolate mousse and warm rye spice on the nose, with cocoa nibs,
nutmeg, cinnamon, and leatherbound books on the palate.
