Triple Eight Peated Massachusetts Single Malt

Smoke & Sea Spray

Lost Lantern hand-selected this cask from Triple Eight Distillery on the island of Nantucket. The distillery’s traditional methods, long aging times, and the maritime climate of Nantucket make for exquisitely balanced whiskies that truly rank among the finest single malts in the world. Its flagship single malt, The Notch, is the longest-aged American Single Malt ever released and a beacon for what American single malt can be.

This release is part of a Lost Lantern trio of the first Triple Eight single casks ever released. Made with 100% malted barley smoked with peat from the Scottish Highlands, it was aged for 6 years in an ex-bourbon barrel. Briny on the nose, with hints of dried apricot, salt, and dense smoke. The palate is rich and smoky, with notes of dried fruit, marzipan, and golden raisins. well rounded, with a warm, smoky finish.

This is the first peated whiskey from Triple Eight ever released.

Adam’s note: Triple Eight’s flagship American single malt, The Notch, is one of the industry’s most beloved whiskies. It does not last long at any industry tasting. Yet the distillery’s limited quantities and very long aging have meant it is normally very limited in availability, primarily available at the distillery on Nantucket. We are honored not only to release Triple Eight’s first single casks and first cask strength whiskies ever, but to be able to make the whiskies available more widely and at a more approachable price point.

The peated whiskey, with a smoky and maritime character, will particularly speak to lovers of smoky whiskies from Scotland’s Islands region.

About Triple Eight

If you asked every American Single Malt distiller in the United States what they thought the best American Single Malt in the country was (excluding their own, of course), we have zero doubt that the consensus would be The Notch.

The Notch is the flagship American Single Malt that Triple Eight, one of the country’s oldest American Single Malt distilleries, makes and painstakingly ages on a small corner of the Cisco Brewers compound on Nantucket Island. This singular single malt, normally released with a 12 or 15 year age statement and primarily available on Nantucket, is arguably the finest example not just of what American Single Malt is, but what it can be.
