Inside Hook: Review – Lost Lantern Is Declaring This The Summer Of Bourbon (Again)

What we’re drinking: Lost Lantern’s Summer of Bourbon II collection

Where it’s from: Co-founded by Nora Ganley-Roper and Adam Polonski, this independent bottler from Vermont offers unique, limited-edition releases from American craft distilleries, all under one label. The expressions are cask strength, non-chill-filtered and with no color added. This marks the second Summer of Bourbon collection.

Why we’re drinking these: We’ve been fans of Lost Lantern since its start in 2020, and we’re big bourbon drinkers. And this feels like their most ambitious collection yet, featuring nine whiskies from 12 states (we’ll explain).
