LOST LANTERN - Westland - 7yo American Single Malt
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:
We hand-selected this cask from Westland Distillery in Seattle, Washington. A transformative voice in American single malt, Westland is on the forefront of creating whiskey that truly reflects where it’s made. In Westland’s case, that’s the Pacific Northwest, which has a unique climate offering growing conditions for grain and maturation conditions for whiskey unlike anywhere else in the world.
This release, our first single cask from Westland, was distilled from their signature five-malt recipe, a combination of malts with several different roast levels. It was aged for seven years in a new oak cask, long enough to bring substantial oak influence but short enough that the underlying flavors of the grain still shine through brilliantly. It is fresh, creamy, warm, and malty, with balanced notes of grain and oak and flavors of rich vanilla and caramel creams. Like fresh-baked bread in a glass.
