American Vatted Malt Reissue
Blast From The Past
This special fifth anniversary re-release of Lost Lantern’s very first whiskey is one of the first blends of American single malt ever created. Created collaboratively by Lost Lantern and the makers of six of the best American single malts from across the country, it captures the depth and range of American single malt in a single bottle.
Unchanged from its original release, this limited reintroduction is a glimpse at the origins of American single malt, one of the most exciting new whiskey styles anywhere in the world and the first new officially recognized style of American whiskey in decades.
This whiskey, in addition to being our top-selling whiskey ever, won a number of awards. These include:
- Best American Blended Malt, 2022 World Whiskies Awards
- Best Blended Malt, ASCOT Awards
- Gold Medal, John Barleycorn Awards
- 92 Points, Ultimate Spirits Competition
