Breaking Bourbon – Review: Lost Lantern 2025 Single Cask #2: Andalusia Whiskey Co. Peated Texas Single Malt Finished in a Tequila Cask

Tequila cask finishing isn’t new in the world of whiskey, but you don’t see it often utilized for American single malts and remains one of the less common finishing barrels, which makes the 6 months this whiskey spent finishing in a tequila barrel so intriguing. We found the last Andalusia release from Lost Lantern in 2023 intriguing, and this current release follows in that same vein. The tequila and smoke influence combined with the Texas aging elements results in a finished American single malt that is extremely intriguing and produces a surprisingly complex sip for its young age. While the finish holds it back, there is little doubt why Lost Lantern selected this as part of their Spring 2025 Collection, as Andalusia Whiskey Co. is undoubtedly standing out in the growing American single malt space.
