Shining a Light on Lost Lantern

Lost Lantern Whiskey took the Scotch Whiskey tradition of independent bottlers and applied it to American craft whiskies. Founders Nora Ganley-Roper and Adam Polonski weren't the first independent bottlers of American whiskies, but their selections over the last four years represent an eclectic variety of whiskies from around the country. They're about to release their Fall 2024 tranche of whiskies, all at or close to ten years old, and we'll catch up with Nora and Adam on this week's WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, it's budget week in the U-K, and Scotch Whisky makers will be watching closely for news of an excise tax cut. We'll have the rest of the week's whisky news as well, along with this week's tasting notes and a look at so-called "vatted malts."
