We are huge fans of Lost Lantern here at DRINQY. They have proven time and again to be a ground-breaking US independent bottler that has its finger on the pulse of where great whiskey is bubbling up here in the United States. We are proud to carry their entire line of products in conjunction with our partnership with Drammers Club.

From the Company:

THE BOURBON OF THE WEST

For our Summer of Bourbon products, we have created a Virtual Roadtrip with a stop for each distillery! Check out this product’s stop here.

The latest entry in Lost Lantern’s Single Distillery Series, and the first bourbon in the series, comes from one of our most sought-after partners: Frey Ranch Distillery. One of the only estate distilleries in the country, the Fallon, Nevada-based distillery grows all its grains, for all of its whiskies, onsite. This results in a whiskey that truly reflects the unique climate of northern Nevada.

Frey Ranch is increasingly renowned for its rich and earthy style of straight bourbon whiskey. But the Single Distillery Series tries to shine a light on a different side of a distillery, beyond what they’re already famous for. We want to show that great distilleries have both depth and range.

So when we went to Frey Ranch to create this unique release, we created a marriage of four barrels that we specifically chose for their rich baking spice flavors. Although it’s made from Frey Ranch’s standard four-grain mashbill, the flavor profile of this release is quite distinct from their core release, showing just how much of an impact natural barrel variation and deliberate blending choices can make.

This four-year-old, four-grain straight bourbon has notes of clove, nutmeg, orange peel, cardamom, and allspice, a deep oak flavor, and a long, warming finish. This is straight bourbon whiskey at its finest: rich, oaky, spicy, and sweet, in perfect proportion.

If you’re already a lover of Frey Ranch, this release will show the true breadth of one of the country’s only estate distilleries. If you’re just discovering them now, this will show you that incredible bourbon can come from climates utterly different from Kentucky, while offering a unique perspective of their own.
