American independent bottler Lost Lantern Whiskey has unveiled its Fall 2023 Single Cask Collection.
The release comprises five new single casks from four distilleries that have become Lost Lantern fan favourites: Balcones Distilling in Texas, Smooth Ambler in West Virginia, New Riff in Kentucky, and Corbin Cash in California. It also includes Lost Lantern's first release from its most-requested new distillery partner, Texas' Andalusia Whiskey Co.
All the whiskeys are bottled at cask strength, are non-chill filtered, and highlight the source distillery on their labelling.
The new Fall 2023 collection also coincides with the unveiling of a revamped packaging design across the whole Lost Lantern range.
Lost Lantern Whiskey co-founder Nora Ganley-Roper said: "The Fall 2023 collection is actually one that is deeply rooted in our customer's desires. Our mission of shining a light on distilleries from across the country doesn’t end the first time we’ve released a whiskey from a distillery. Inspired by direct feedback, this collection revisits four of our most sought-after previous distillery partners – Balcones, Smooth Ambler, New Riff, and Corbin Cash – and introduces a much-requested newcomer, Andalusia Whiskey Co."
