Lost Lantern is an independent bottler of American whiskey located in Vermont. This award-winning brand is about removing any stigma surrounding the term “sourced whiskey.” Their goal is to find complex, unique, noteworthy whiskeys and release them as single-cask expressions or blends. They’ve worked with more than 30 different distilleries to release limited-edition whiskeys.

Recently, the brand announced not only one new expression but a whole collection. Its Fall 2024 Collection features a 10-year-old bourbon, two 10-year-old rye whiskies, and an almost 10-year-old American single malt whiskey. These four expressions are the oldest whiskeys the brand has ever released. Each release is non-chill filtered and bottled at cask strength.

“As more American distilleries reach new milestones, whiskey lovers will see a greater variety of age statements, proving that age and quality come from intentional craftsmanship, not just tradition,” Lost Lantern co-founder Adam Polonski said in a press release. “The whiskies in this collection honor distilleries that have demonstrated patience and dedication. After all, there’s only one way for a distillery to end up with a 10-year-old whiskey they made themselves: make it and wait ten years.”

Located in Versailles, Kentucky, Woodford Reserve is a distillery that seems to release nothing but noteworthy whiskeys. Its newest Distillery Series expression is no exception. That's because this limited-edition whiskey was finished in barrels that previously held Tawny Port wine.

To say that the creation of this whiskey is complicated is an understatement. Master Distiller Elizabeth McCall begins with a blend of rye whiskey and bourbon, which is then blended with a bourbon finished in Tawny Port barrels.

So, you splurged and bought that expensive bottle of whiskey you’ve eyed every time you stopped by your local liquor store to grab a new bottle of Elijah Craig Small Batch or Knob Creek 9 Year.
