About Lost Lantern Whiskey:

Lost Lantern is an award-winning independent bottler of American whiskey, founded by Nora Ganley-Roper and Adam Polonski, that sources unique whiskeys from small distilleries across the U.S., applying the traditional Scottish independent bottler model to the American market to highlight unique flavors, transparency, and independent distillers. They release both single casks and unique blends, focusing on high-quality, often cask-strength, non-chill-filtered, natural color spirits, with offerings including bourbons, ryes, single malts, and specially finished whiskeys from over 40 distilleries in more than 20 states.

Key Aspects:

• Independent Bottler: They buy barrels from other distilleries (like Balcones, New Riff, Westland, Frey Ranch, St. George) and bottle them under their own label, rather than distilling their own.
• Mission: To "shine a light" on America's diverse whiskey landscape, promoting small producers and unique expressions.
• Product Style: Known for transparency, non-chill-filtered, natural color, and often cask strength releases, featuring single casks and unique blends.
• Diversity: Explores various American whiskey styles, including bourbon, rye, and increasingly American single malts, using unique finishes (like apple brandy) and grains.
• Recognition: Named Independent Bottler of the Year (2023) and recognized for innovation,.
• Location: Operates from Vergennes, Vermont, with a production facility and tasting room.

How They Work:

1. Sourcing: Founders travel the U.S., discovering hidden gems and unique barrels from independent craft distillers.
2. Selection & Bottling: They select standout barrels, often highlighting specific distillery stories and regional characteristics.
3. Release: Offerings include single casks (bottled directly from one barrel) and complex blends (like their American Vatted Malt), often grouped into themed collections (e.g., Scotch Lovers' Collection, Finish Collections).

In essence, Lost Lantern acts as a curator for American whiskey, bringing exceptional, lesser-known spirits to a wider audience.
