Ep. 32: Lost Lantern 10 Year Collection with Nora & Adam

This week we're pleased to welcome back Adam & Nora of Lost Lantern to talk about their 2024 Fall Collection of four 10 Year American whiskeys.

We previously had Lost Lantern on for Ep. 21: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcVMvZDRDuc

Lost Lantern is an Independent Bottler and Blender of American Whiskey. As their tagline goes, they are "Shining a Light on the Independent Spirit."

Adam and Nora have 2 rules: they must visit in person every distillery they will work with, and despite their differing palates, they both must like every bottling they release. This means that no matter what you buy from Lost Lantern, it will be a crowd pleaser with a great story behind it.

This week we'll be tasting through the 4 whiskeys in the 10-year Fall Collection, discussing the distilleries, the philosophies behind these bottlings, and doing some tasting notes.

- Tom's Foolery 10 Year Ohio Straight Bourbon Whiskey (59.7%)

- Spirit Works 10 Year California Straight Rye Whiskey (69.6%)

- New York Distilling Co. 10 Year New York Straight Rye Whiskey (66.9%)

- Westland Distillery 9.99 Year Peated American Single Malt Whiskey (54.9%)
