Inside Hook – The Best New Whiskeys To Drink This May

Various | 45.85 – 63.25% ABV | No Age Statements

This is the first time Lost Lantern, an independent bottler in Vermont that we quite like, has released a collection made entirely of finished whiskies. The bottles include whiskies finished in casks that formerly held apple brandy, tequila, local honey, nocino and Pommeau, with the liquid sourced from distilleries in New York, New Mexico, Texas, Indiana and Ohio. The standout? Andalusia, a Texas distillery, finished its peated single malt in ex-tequila casks and created something that deftly bridges the worlds of smoky whiskies and agave spirits.
