New Release: Lost Lantern Fall 2021 Bourbon Collection

By The Bourbon Flight

Lost Lantern announced their Fall 2021 collection of single cask American whiskies. The Fall 2021 collection will feature two single malts, two bourbons, and one rye, each bottled non-chill filtered, of natural color, and at cask strength.

Lost Lantern has also introduced a new cask numbering system with the Fall 2021 collection. Every front label now includes the release year, cask number, and alcohol by volume written by hand.

The Fall Bourbon selections are: 

Fall 2021 Single Cask #2: Watershed Ohio Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Limited to 160 bottles at 59.2% ABV (118.4 Proof).

Founded in 2010, Watershed is one of the most sought-after and beloved distilleries in the Midwest. Meticulous production methods, commitment to local ingredients, and innovations with grain have resulted in an impressive range of spirits and a devoted following statewide.

Their whiskies are rarely found outside of Ohio, especially at cask strength. Aged for 5 years in a 53-gallon new American oak barrel, this straight bourbon whiskey has a unique five-grain mashbill that includes corn, rye, spelt, malted barley, and wheat. This cask has a rich sweetness, perfectly balanced by oak spice and an orangey zing, evoking the flavors of our favorite breakfast pastries.

Fall 2021 Single Cask #3: Boulder Spirits Colorado Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Limited to 181 bottles at 69.25% ABV (138.5 Proof).

The distillery was founded by Scotsman Alastair Brogan, who brought Scottish whisky-making traditions to the Colorado Rockies, where the dry, high-elevation environment makes for bold and unique spirits. Boulder uses a traditional Forsyths Scottish still and much of its output is Colorado single malt.

Consequently, the straight bourbon whiskey from Boulder offers something unique—a very unusual high-malt mashbill: 51% corn, 44% malted barley, and 5% rye. The result, after 5 years of aging in a 53-gallon new American oak cask at over a mile in elevation, is a very big, rich, juicy straight bourbon whiskey. Hearty oak surrounds chocolate mousse, maple syrup-drenched waffles, fudge, and toffee. With a natural cask strength of 69.25%, this is a bourbon for people who love big bourbon, with a flavor profile that could only come from the mountains.
