Lost Lantern Announces Fall 2024 Collection
Independent bottler Lost Lantern has announced its Fall 2024 collection of American whiskies. The Fall 2024 collection challenges the misconception that whiskey from newer American distilleries is always young, featuring a 10 year old bourbon, two 10 year old ryes, and a nearly 10 year old American single malt, each bottled non-chill filtered, of natural color, and at cask strength.
Lost Lantern Westland Peated American Single Malt 9.99 Years Old Single Cask
Limited to 185 bottles at 54.9% ABV (109.8 Proof)
Suggested Retail Price: $150
A transformative voice in single malt, Westland Distillery in Seattle is at the forefront of creating whiskey that truly reflects where it’s made. This single cask was made from malted barley heavily peated with Scottish peat and aged for exactly 9.99** years in a new oak cask. The nose leads with savory smoke and notes of scorched apples and roasted meats. It tastes like a marshmallow s’mores, fresh from the fire. Smoky, fresh, and elegant.
**This single cask was bottled one day short of its tenth birthday. To date, Westland has yet to release its own 10-year-old whiskey, making this single cask the oldest whiskey Westland has ever released. If and when a 10-year-old is released, it will be done so by the folks at Westland.
Lost Lantern Tom’s Foolery Ohio Straight Bourbon 10 Years Old Single Cask
Limited to 82 bottles at 59.7% ABV (119.4 Proof)

This family-owned distillery in Chagrin Falls, OH uses traditional, labor-intensive methods, including wooden fermenters and pot still distillation.

A reflection of the Ohio snowbelt, it has maple-drizzled cornbread, french vanilla, and warming oak spice on the nose, with hints of maple, chocolate, and fresh-cut hay on the palate.
