Ironroot Republic Double Barrel Texas Bourbon Anniversary Release
Double barrelled, Texas style
Lost Lantern hand-selected this cask from Ironroot Republic Distilling on the north Texas plains. The family-owned distillery’s use of European distillation techniques and its experiments with heirloom strains of corn push the boundaries of what bourbon can be.
The most sought-after cask in our first release was an Ironroot Republic corn whiskey. This special fifth anniversary single cask is an homage to that release. Our first double-barrel bourbon, this was made from 60% yellow dent corn, 30% Bloody Butcher corn, 5% Floriani flint corn, and 5% Elbon rye. It was aged for 3 years in a 65-gallon new oak barrel, then rebarreled for a year in an identical cask. The nose has hints of roasted corn and charred fruit. The palate bursts with notes of vanilla, black raspberry ice cream, and rich oak.
You may notice that this is lower proof than you normally see from a Texas bourbon! That’s because the Ironroot Republic team had actually started slow proofing this in barrel when the Lost Lantern team selected it. So, it’s a rare release that is not cask strength.

About Ironroot Republic Distilling
More than a century ago, the small Texas town of Denison saved the French wine industry. The tough roots of the area’s indigenous grapes could survive the devastating phylloxera mite, and by grafting Old World vines onto those roots, French wine came back to life. The name Ironroot Republic honors the town’s legacy. The Likarish family, which runs the distillery, pairs the unique regional climate and the extensive use of heirloom strains of corn with Old World distilling and aging traditions. Their bourbons and corn whiskies showcase compelling, elegant flavors rarely seen in American whiskey, and Ironroot Republic has quickly become one of the country’s most sought-after whiskies.
