Lost Lantern is an independent bottler, sourcing whiskeys from distilleries all over the country in an effort to “shine a light on the independent spirit.” This marks our third barrel pick from Lost Lantern and fourth pick from New Holland Spirits. We chose this barrel from a wide range of barrels offered by Lost Lantern spanning multiple distilleries. The combination of New Holland’s distillate with 2 years in new charred oak followed by 3 years finishing time in an ex-Dragon’s Milk Stout barrel produced a vibrant, unique, and cohesive end result that we liked immediately, making it an easy choice. We hope you enjoy this barrel as much as we do!
Very rich and sweet on the nose, with notes of dark chocolate buttercream frosting, clove, allspice, slight apricot, and warm oak. The palate is very complex with an undercurrent of juicy citrus with layers of notes of rich chocolate frosting, currant, black cherry, and walnut. The finish is warm and rich, with well-integrated baking spices notes to form a cohesive ending and leave a lasting impression.
About Seelbach’s
For this pick, we partnered with spirits retailer Seelbach’s, which was founded by Blake Riber, also the creator of Bourbonr and the Bourbonr Facebook group. An online-only retailer with a twist, we interviewed Riber to discuss how he’s running his shop differently than everyone else. “Unlocking Craft Spirits” he calls it - seeking out up-and-coming craft distilleries and learning about their process and tasting through their products to find hidden gems.
