Lost Lantern’s summer releases show off the diversity of bourbon

Bourbons from across the U.S.

Lost Lantern

With National Bourbon Day arriving today, bourbon makers are getting ready—including a new release of a “Summer of Bourbon” series from Lost Lantern. Lost Lantern isn’t a distillery itself but rather a bottler, taking bourbons from across the U.S. and bottling or blending them to share in releases.

This will be the second year that Lost Lantern is running its summer of bourbon, and this year’s collection includes nine whiskeys from twelve states, blending bourbons from different distilleries into new combinations.

“Summer of Bourbon II shines a light on the true variety and depth that great bourbon can have,” said Adam Polonski, co-founder of Lost Lantern. “This Collection contains several firsts for us: our first Tennessee whiskey, our first finished bourbon, our first bourbon from a closed distillery, and our first bourbons from several new partners and states. We are delighted to once again celebrate summer with America’s iconic spirit.”

As well as blends, the range also includes seven single cask releases and a single distillery release. The distilleries featured hail from Indiana, Mississippi, New York, West Virginia, and beyond. Some of the highlights include Far-Flung Bourbon II, a blend bringing together bourbons from the north and sound of the U.S., and a first finished bourbon from the brand, the Boulder Spirits Armagnac Finished Colorado Straight Bourbon Single Cask.

You can find more details about each bourbon on the Lost Lantern website. The first part of the collection will be released on June 20, when the blends go on sale, followed by the second part on July 11, when the single casks will be available.

Rolling Fork Spirits is relaunchung historic brand Bourbon de Luxe
Whiskey in a glass

We love bourbon, especially historic bourbon. That’s why we get so excited when brands relaunch brands that were seemingly lost in time. This is the case with Bourbon de Luxe. First launched in 1911, it even made it past Prohibition after being acquired by the R.W. Wathen Co. in 1926 and added to the American Medicinal Spirits Co. portfolio in 1927.

Shortly after, it was one of many forgotten brands. That is until Rolling Fork Spirits relaunched it in the fall of 2024. It was so popular that the brand decided to once again release this limited-edition small batch bourbon after selling out so quickly the first time on popular spirits retailer Seelbachs.com.
