LOST LANTERN - Westland - 8yo American Single Malt (Red Wine Cask)
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, our second cask from Westland, shows a different side of the distillery. Like the first, this is made from Westland’s signature five-malt recipe. It was aged for five years in new oak, then finished for 3 years in a Washington Cabernet Sauvignon wine cask. The finish amplifies the fruity, spicy flavors of the whiskey. Soft and rounded with a lot of spice, it has flavors of black raspberry, soft oak, apple cider donuts, and black cherry ice cream.
