Santa Fe Spirits New Mexico Single Malt Anniversary Release

Smoke from the mountains
Lost Lantern hand-selected this cask from Santa Fe Spirits. One of the country’s foremost American single malt producers, the New Mexico distillery is a pioneer of mesquite-smoked single malt. The process is a distinctly Southwestern take on the long tradition of smoked whiskies.
Our very first single cask was a mesquite-smoked single malt from Santa Fe Spirits. This special single cask, released for Lost Lantern’s fifth anniversary, returns to the distillery with a cask twice the age of the first one. Made from 100% malted barley, 30% of which was mesquite-smoked, this 6-year-old American single malt has notes of warm, citrusy smoke and tangerines on the nose. The palate is complex, with candied orange and dark chocolate notes balanced by a warm and welcoming smoke.

About Santa Fe Spirits
Located at the foot of the Sangre de Cristo mountains in New Mexico, Santa Fe Spirits is a pioneer of making mesquite-smoked single malt. This process is a distinctly Southwestern take on the long tradition of peat-smoked barley and is, in Lost Lantern’s opinion, one of the most exciting things happening in American single malt. Santa Fe’s flagship whiskey, Colkegan, is an elegant single malt that reminds us of the more delicate Islay Scotches.
