New York Distilling Co. Rye Apple Brandy Finish Anniversary Release

A big apple gets bigger

Lost Lantern hand-selected this cask from Brooklyn-based New York Distilling Co., one of the country’s first and finest urban distilleries and a champion of the rebirth of gin and rye whiskey in the empire state.

Our first rye single cask was an apple brandy-finished rye from New York Distilling Co. This special single cask, released for Lost Lantern’s fifth anniversary, returns to the distillery with a much older look at the same style. This 9-year-old rye whiskey finished in an apple brandy cask has notes of leather, dried lemongrass, and spicy rye richness on the nose. The palate bursts with juicy apple freshness, with notes of gala apple balanced by warm rye spice, mint chocolate chip bar, and apple strudel. Big, fresh, and juicy.
