Lost Lantern is shining a light on the independent spirit. That's a great tag line, but what does it mean? Lost Lantern visits every distillery they source from. In fact, they spent an entire year traveling across the United States in search of great whiskey. They crisscrossed the country, visiting distilleries in dozens of states. They met founders and distillers who bet their livelihoods for a chance to make whiskey. Lost Lantern took on one of the most ambitious craft distilling projects I've seen. They worked with six distilleries to create a unique vatted single malt. But, more about that below.
Lost Lantern American Vatted Malt Edition No. 1
Lost Lantern American Vatted Malt Edition No. 1 is one of the first blends of single malts ever made in the United States. More than that, it represents the whiskey world’s true spirit of collaboration and harmony. We brought together the founders and distillers behind some of the country’s most distinctive single malts, all of whom hand-selected barrels for this unique blend. Over the course of a single marathon day, we worked, tasted, and blended together. The result was this unique and special blend.
Lost Lantern American Vatted Malt Edition No. 1 is a 12-barrel blend of single malt whiskies from six distilleries:
- Balcones in Waco, Texas
- Copperworks in Seattle, Washington
- Santa Fe Spirits in Santa Fe, New Mexico
- Triple Eight on Nantucket, Massachusetts
- Westward in Portland, Oregon
- Virginia Distillery Co. in Lovingston, Virginia
