Breaking Bourbon – Review: Lost Lantern 2025 Farmers’ Fields Rye

Lost Lantern brings together 4 ryes from very different distilleries to create an exceptional blend with their Farmers’ Fields Rye summer release.

Farmers’ Fields Rye is a blend of straight ryes from the four distilleries also featured as single barrel ryes within Lost Lantern’s Summer 2025 Estate Distillery Collection. The distillery ryes in the blend come from a range of geographical locations throughout the United States, ranging from the far Southwest with Corbin Cash (Atwater, CA) and Frey Ranch (Fallon, NV), to the extreme north with Far North (Hallock, MN), and Whiskey Acres (DeKalb, IL), hailing from the Midwest.

There are fewer ryes than bourbons in the marketplace, and as a result, fewer ryes that really stand out as remarkable whiskeys. Farmers’ Fields Rye nails a high proof, rich rye flavor profile that balances distinctiveness with drinkability, and sweetness with spice. The blend is a good example of the whole being greater than the sum of the parts, as it’s being better than the collective individual distillery offerings that are included in it. Those who like a unique, full-flavored, high proof rye with an earthy undertone should seek out this release.

OVERALL RATING: 4.5 Barrels – EXCEPTIONAL!
