The Creator: Sarah Jeltema (@whiskynomad)
ABV: 62.75%
The Whiskey:
Featuring a mash bill of 51% corn, 44% malted barley, and 5% rye, the 7-year-old bourbon from this single cask yielded 300 bottles. Released at cask strength and non-chill filtered, this is the first cask-finished expression under the Lost Lantern banner. The whiskey itself was aged for 4.5 years in New Oak and then finished for 2.5 years in an Armagnac cask.
Sarah’s Notes:
Lost Lantern hunts down some of the best independent bottles I’ve ever seen. This one is no exception. Boulder Spirits, out of Colorado, uses their elevation to make some truly bold bourbons, and this is the first finished bourbon I’ve seen that comes from that distillery. The high malt bourbon base pairs fantastically with the sweet finish.
Why We Think You’ll Love It:
If writers are the proto-whiskey content creators, then it makes sense for things to be coming full circle here. Prior to founding Lost Lantern Spirits, co-founder Adam Polonski was a Senior Whisky Specialist at Whisky Advocate. Together, he and his partner Nora Ganley-Roper are swiftly becoming the preeminent independent bottlers in America. If you want to discover just what makes that producer category so interesting, then this unique Armagnac-finished straight bourbon from Colorado’s Boulder Spirits should be one of your first stops.
