Independent bottler Lost Lantern has announced its Fall 2026 collection – its first devoted entirely to one distillery, and its first partnership with a large, heritage distillery: Cascade Hollow Distilling Co., better known as George Dickel.

Working closely with distiller Nicole Austin, Lost Lantern co-founders Nora Ganley-Roper and Adam Polonski selected whiskies that showcase the depth and complexity of whiskey made in Tennessee while revealing a lesser-known side of George Dickel: styles the distillery has produced for years but rarely, if ever, released.

The collection ranges from 18-year-old Tennessee whiskey to wheat whiskey, light whiskey, bourbon that has not undergone charcoal filtration, and Tennessee-distilled rye. All the releases in the collection are cask strength, non-chill-filtered, with no color added, and released with full transparency on their origin.

The George Dickel Collection includes three releases in Lost Lantern’s Single Distillery Series, all of which will be available in all of Lost Lantern’s standard markets. The collection also includes a wide range of single casks representing seven different styles of whiskey. Due to their limited nature, many of these single casks are exclusive to individual retailers.

Single Distillery Series Releases

Fabled Forest George Dickel Tennessee Whiskey
Single Distillery Series | 93.2 Proof | 815 Bottles | 11 Years Old | $99.99

A walk in the woods and a fresh look at George Dickel’s flagship style, rarely released at cask strength. Fabled Forest blends seven casks of Tennessee whiskey, all charcoal-mellowed using the Lincoln County process and aged between 11 and 18 years. Roughly a quarter of the blend is 18 years old, adding depth to a whiskey that is rich and complex, yet mellow and balanced. Powerful oak, black cherry, stone fruit, and rounded baking spice notes make this George Dickel blended specifically for the bourbon nerd.

Wild Woodland George Dickel Tennessee Straight Rye Whiskey
Single Distillery Series | 118.3 Proof | 664 Bottles | 7 Years Old | $79.99

A marriage of five casks aged for seven years, Wild Woodland offers the first-ever taste of George Dickel’s Tennessee-distilled rye as a standalone release. Bold, deep, and powerful, it reflects the hot, humid climate of Middle Tennessee, with notes of mint, dark chocolate, oak, and generous rye spice.

Golden Grove George Dickel Tennessee Straight Wheat Whiskey
Single Distillery Series | 120.0 Proof | 677 Bottles | 4 Years Old | $79.99

Golden Grove brings together six casks of George Dickel’s wheat whiskey, which has never before been released. Made from 100% wheat and aged between four and eight years, this warm, expressive wheat whiskey shows how the historic distillery continues to experiment beyond the whiskies that made its name. Reminiscent of a wheated bourbon, this has rich notes of nutmeg, chocolate banana bread, strawberries, and warm oak, with a remarkable softness on the palate.

Single Casks

George Dickel Tennessee Whiskey 11 Years Old
2 Single Casks | $79.99

A rare chance to experience George Dickel’s signature style as a cask-strength single barrel. Made from 84% corn, 8% rye, and 8% malt, this whiskey was charcoal-mellowed using the Lincoln County process and aged for 11 years in a new oak barrel. Warm and bright, with balanced fruit and spice notes, this is older than anything Lost Lantern has ever released–except for other whiskies in the George Dickel Collection.

George Dickel Tennessee Whiskey 18 Years Old
4 Single Casks | $249.99

This trio of 18 year old single casks are the oldest whiskies Lost Lantern has ever released. Made from 84% corn, 8% rye, and 8% malt, charcoal-mellowed using the Lincoln County process and aged for 18 years in a new oak barrel. Tennessee’s humid aging conditions helped bring the cask strength down to just over 80 proof, yet the whiskey retains remarkable depth and intensity. Leather, roasted fruit, and hefty oak notes reveal the character of a truly long-aged Tennessee whiskey.

George Dickel Straight Bourbon Whiskey 10 Years Old Not Charcoal Mellowed
2 Single Casks | $99.99

An unusual look at George Dickel bourbon that did not undergo the process of charcoal mellowing, the signature step that defines Tennessee whiskey. Made from 75% corn, 21% rye, and 4% malt and aged for 10 years, this single cask offers an intriguing comparison with George Dickel’s Tennessee whiskey. Bold and bright, with rich oak and baking spice notes.

George Dickel Tennessee Whiskey 10 Years Old Groovy Staves
1 Single Cask | $119.99

An experiment in how barrel construction shapes flavor. This charcoal-mellowed Tennessee whiskey spent 10 years in a cask made with grooved staves, maximizing surface area and wood contact. Robust, spicy oak on the nose leads to dark fruit, leather, and clove on the palate. Deep and powerful, it reveals another side of George Dickel’s signature style.

George Dickel Tennessee Straight Rye Whiskey 7 Years Old
4 Single Casks | $89.99

Previously released only as part of a collaboration with Colorado-based Leopold Bros., this is the first standalone release of George Dickel’s Tennessee-distilled rye. Made from 84% rye, 8% corn, and 8% malt and aged for seven years in a new oak barrel, it is a bold hot-climate Southern rye shaped by Tennessee’s heat, with full oak, rich mint, chocolate, and rye spice notes.

George Dickel Tennessee Straight Wheat Whiskey
2 Single Casks | 7 Years Old | $89.99

Made from 100% wheat and aged for seven years in a new oak barrel, this previously unreleased style makes Lost Lantern’s case for wheat whiskey as the next discovery for wheated bourbon lovers. Deep baking spice, tropical fruit, and warm oak meet delicate floral notes and a remarkable softness on the palate.

George Dickel Tennessee Light Whiskey 8 Years Old
2 Single Casks | $79.99

Lost Lantern’s first light whiskey also introduces a previously unreleased style from George Dickel. Made from 84% corn, 8% rye, and 8% malt and aged for eight years in a used oak barrel, this rare single cask invites exploration of an overlooked whiskey category. Delicate and nuanced, it has a lighter body and mouthfeel than bourbon while offering plenty of complexity.

The Lost Lantern Fall 2026 George Dickel Collection will be available beginning Wednesday, October 21st via LostLanternWhiskey.com, Seelbachs.com, at select retailers in CA, NY, MA, and IL, and at the Lost Lantern Tasting Room in Vergennes, VT.

Nikka has announced the launch of Taketsuru Pure Malt Essentials 2026, the first release in a limited-edition annual series that takes a deep dive into the essence of Taketsuru Pure Malt by exploring a distinctive theme each year. The Taketsuru Pure Malt Essentials series will be released annually through 2030, leading up to the 30th anniversary of the Taketsuru Pure Malt brand.

The inaugural Essentials release highlights Nikka’s birthplace, the Yoichi Distillery located on the island of Hokkaido, and spotlights the direct coal-fired distillation method that is conducted at the distillery. The 2026 edition also incorporates whisky batches from both Yoichi Distillery and Miyagikyo Distillery distilled in 2000, when Taketsuru Pure Malt was first introduced. Essentials is presented at 43% ABV, consistent with the original Taketsuru Pure Malt expression.

Official tasting notes for Taketsuru Pure Malt Essentials 2026 follow:

Aroma: Malty and gently toasty, showing subtle notes of baked cookies; sweet-tart nuances reminiscent of apricot jam and a calm, well-matured oak presence come together in quiet harmony.

Palate: Full-bodied and rich; the natural sweetness of malt is seamlessly integrated with the depth of peat, revealing a layered palate with quiet complexity.

Finish: Pleasant and lingering; malt sweetness continues gently, accompanied by soft peat notes and a subtle, slightly bitter oak nuance, before calmly fading away.

Each release in the Essentials series will feature a unique label aligned to each theme. To reflect its Yoichi-focused identity, the 2026 edition is dominated by the Yoichi Single Malt’s signature color, a traditional Japanese indigo blue.

For the second edition of “Between You and I,” Highland Park has partnered with Laila Gohar – a New York–based artist and creative director known for transforming edible materials into sculptural compositions – to create two limited edition 17 year old single malts.

Laila Gohar used the whiskies flavor profiles as the inspiration for their creative identity. Her interpretation informed the bespoke packaging, co-created with Highland Park, which combines hand-drawn illustrations by Silja Goetz with layered visual references inspired by Gohar’s sensory response to the whisky. Inside each pack, a booklet replaces conventional tasting notes with a series of evocative vignettes written by Gohar, inviting consumers to explore the whisky not just with taste buds but with the imagination.
