Lost Lantern's Spring 2022 Single Cask Collection

Lost Lantern has announced their Spring 2022 single cask collection, sourced from four celebrated distilleries: Smooth Ambler in West Virginia, Westward in Oregon, Frey Ranch Distillery in Nevada and Spirit Works in California.

“This group of distilleries is continually pushing the boundaries of American whiskey and exploring new ways of making whiskey in many different forms,” says Lost Lantern Co-Founders Nora Ganley-Roper and Adam Polonski. “The Spring Collection includes our first single casks from Frey Ranch, one of the only estate distilleries in the country, and Westward, one of the creators of modern American single malt, as well as our second Smooth Ambler West Virginia wheated bourbon and a unique sloe gin-finished rye whiskey from Spirit Works in California.”
