On Wednesday, which happens to be National Bourbon Day, Lost Lantern, the Vermont-based independent bottler of American whiskey, announced the upcoming releases of eight bourbons, which will debut over the summer.
Lost Lantern has declared summer 2023 to be the “Summer of Bourbon” and wants to celebrate by shining a spotlight on producers across the country, as great bourbon was once considered to come primarily from Kentucky but today comes from all over the U.S.
“As an independent bottler, we routinely work with all styles of American whiskey, including bourbon. However, we have never devoted such a large release entirely to one single style of whiskey,” Lost Lantern co-founder Adam Polonski said in a news release. “But as America’s iconic spirit, bourbon demands it. The bourbon world has transformed, and we want to showcase the incredible quality and ingenuity coming from all over the country.”
Lost Lantern’s Summer of Bourbon comprises eight bourbons from three Lost Lantern collections. Six will be from the Single Cask Series, while one each will be added to the Blend Series and Single Distillery Series.
The Summer of Bourbon Collection will be available online beginning July 26 from LostLanternWhiskey.com and Seelbachs.com. Some releases will also be available in California, New York, Kentucky and Alberta, Canada.
