Glenallachie Distillery is a Speyside distillery sitting on the eastern edge of Ben Rinnes mountain where it is rather exposed to the elements and is often to be see sitting within the snowline. A modern building and its architect William Delmé-Evans created a distillery which is rather pleasing on the eye. Glenallachie was commissioned in 1967 with two stills which increased to four in 1989 in order to meet blenders ever increasing demand for Glenallachie malt whisky. Whilst official releases are few independent releases are more numerous with those from Signatory Vintage and Cadenheads proving popular.

DISTILLERY EXCLUSIVES

As a small, family run Scottish distillery, we wanted to be able to find a way to keep the distillery alive and productive during the quieter months, when visitors can be a bit scarce on the ground. With that in mind we decided to ensure that we will always have some single cask distillery exclusive bottlings available, just for pilgrims who make their way to the Spiritual Home of Scotch whisky. These bottles are not available online and cannot be bought over the phone or set aside.

Our next planned releases will be on 9th March 2022, when we will release two Distillery Exclusives – Cask 180074 Monbazillac Wine Barrique, which is outstanding for its age and Cask 180235 Thiron French Virgin Oak Hogshead, which is made from wood that was grown less than 1 mile from the town of Thiron where the original abbey monks came from.

So, if you would like to visit us for a Distillery Tour or to pick up a bottle, our Winter hours are 1st November – 13th March: Open Wednesday-Sunday (Closed Monday & Tuesday). Distillery Tours are available at 11am and 2pm, please book in advance.

Lost Lantern Spring 2022 Single Cask Collection Highlights Tradition & Innovation

March 1, 2022—Lost Lantern, the new independent bottler of American whiskey that launched less than 18 months ago, is pleased to announce their Spring 2022 collection, featuring four limited edition single casks from four celebrated distilleries: Smooth Ambler in West Virginia, Westward in Oregon, Frey Ranch Distillery in Nevada and Spirit Works in California.

Beginning March 9, the Spring 2022 single cask collection will be available for sale on LostLanternWhiskey.com and Seelbachs.com. All offerings are bottled at cask strength, are non-chill-filtered and have natural color.

• 2022 Single Cask #1: Smooth Ambler West Virginia Straight Bourbon Whiskey (195 btls): SRP, $80
• 2022 Single Cask #2: Westward Oregon Single Malt Whiskey Finished in Chardonnay Cask (272 btls): SRP, $130

• 2022 Single Cask #4: Spirit Works California Straight Rye Whiskey Finished in a Sloe Gin Cask (207 btls): SRP, $100

Lost Lantern’s Spring 2022 Single Cask Collection showcases American whiskey’s simultaneous embrace of tradition and innovation. “This group of distilleries is continually pushing the boundaries of American whiskey and exploring new ways of making whiskey in many different forms,” commented Lost Lantern Co-Founders Nora Ganley-Roper and Adam Polonski. “The Spring Collection includes our first single casks from Frey Ranch, one of the only estate distilleries in the country, and Westward, one of the creators of modern American single malt, as well as our second Smooth Ambler West Virginia wheated bourbon and a unique sloe gin-finished rye whiskey from Spirit Works in California.”

Single casks are an essential piece of the Lost Lantern model, inspired by the long tradition of independent bottlers in Scotland. These highly limited, one-of-a-kind single casks consist of unique and deeply expressive whiskies produced by some of the finest distilleries in the United States. Since their debut in October 2020, Lost Lantern has released 22 single casks from Santa Fe Spirits (NM), Cedar Ridge (IA), New York Distilling Company (NY), Ironroot Republic (TX), Whiskey Del Bac (AZ), Balcones (TX) Watershed (OH), Boulder Spirits (CO), Spirit Works (CA), St. George Spirits (CA), McCarthy’s (OR), Smooth Ambler (WV), Starlight (IN), Westward (OR), and Frey Ranch Distillery (NV).

In addition to the single cask releases, Lost Lantern’s flagship blend, American Vatted Malt Edition No. 1 (SRP $120) is available. Recently named ‘Best American Blended Malt’ at the 2022 World Whiskies Awards, it was created with some of the biggest names in American single malt (Balcones in TX, Copperworks in WA, Santa Fe Spirits in NM, Triple Eight in MA, Westward in OR, and Virginia Distillery Co. in VA). American Vatted Malt represents collaboration and community amongst distillers and crafters who share the vision of bringing American whiskey into the light it deserves.

ABOUT LOST LANTERN’S SPRING 2022 SINGLE CASK COLLECTION

Lost Lantern single casks show that the best whiskey reflects where it’s made, how it’s made, and who made it, and demonstrate that compelling whiskey comes from all across the United States. 

2022 Cask #1: Smooth Ambler West Virginia Straight Bourbon Whiskey

(195 btls | 123 Proof): SRP, $80

This is the second of a pair of bourbon casks Lost Lantern selected from Smooth Ambler Spirits in Maxwelton, West Virginia. Smooth Ambler has long been on the vanguard of sourcing and blending whiskey with transparency and integrity. They’ve also been distilling and aging their own whiskey as they forge a new whiskey tradition in West Virginia. Distilled on Smooth Ambler’s own column still in West Virginia, it was aged in a 53-gallon barrel for 5 years. The nose has notes of toasted almond, white chocolate, and cranberries. The palate is rich and spicy, with clove, black cherry and deep oak flavors.

2022 Cask #2: Westward Oregon Single Malt Whiskey Finished in a Chardonnay Cask

(272 btls | 121 Proof): SRP, $130

Known for pushing the boundaries of craft spirits for almost two decades, Westward in Portland, Oregon has created a new style of American single malt built on the brewing culture of the Pacific Northwest. This single malt was made from 100% two-row malted barley grown in the Pacific Northwest. It was aged for 28 months in a new oak cask, then finished for 20 months in an Oregon Chardonnay cask. It has a structured and well-rounded palate with a big malty flavor that includes hints of white flowers, toasted pecans, and fresh pears. It is reminiscent of a meadow in the first days of fall.

2022 Cask #3: Frey Ranch Distillery Nevada Four Grain Straight Bourbon Whiskey

(188 btls | 124 Proof): SRP, $100

Frey Ranch, located in a unique farming oasis in the watershed of Lake Tahoe in northern Nevada, is where Colby and Ashley Frey have transformed their fifth-generation family farm into one of the most exciting distilleries in the country. Committed to doing things the right way, no matter how long it takes, Frey Ranch is one of the only true estate distilleries in the U.S. This cask is a 5-year-old straight bourbon whiskey made entirely from grain grown at Frey Ranch. It has spicy, earthy fruit flavors, with notes of black cherry and caramel vanilla creams. It is Lost Lantern’s first Nevada whiskey.

2022 Cask #4: Spirit Works California Straight Rye Whiskey Finished in a Sloe Gin Cask

(207 btls | 113 Proof): SRP, $100

Located in the heart of Sonoma wine country, Spirit Works is a family-run distillery built from the ground up with sustainable practices in mind. Highly awarded and respected, the distillery also has one of the very few female-led distilling teams in the United States. Most importantly, they make wonderful spirits like whiskey and gin. This special whiskey was made by finishing straight 2-year-old Spirit Works rye whiskey for an additional year in a cask that previously held the distillery’s sloe gin. The finish adds complex flavors of strawberry, raspberry, and juniper to the underlying spice, vanilla, and oak notes, making this whiskey similar in flavor to the iconic cocktail, the Boulevardier.

Two Trees Launches Refreshing New Bourbon Barrel-Aged Seltzer 

New Bourbon Barrel-Aged Seltzer Opens Up Taste Experiences and Mass Appeal 

(FLETCHER, NC) March 1, 2022 – Two Trees Beverage Co. introduces new Bourbon Barrel-Aged Seltzer. The new malt-based, wood-crafted seltzer will be available this spring in 6-packs of 12oz cans.

Two Trees is blending the timeless barrel-aged taste of bourbon with the crisp, refreshing experience of RTD seltzers. Opening with an aromatic and oak forward nose, followed by subtly sweet & spicy notes; a grain profile of corn, wheat and pilsner gives Two Trees Bourbon Seltzer a satiny finish with hints of vanilla and maple. 

Two Trees previously announced its partnership with Iron Heart Canning, a leader in mobile canning, to introduce additional capabilities including carbonation for product innovation and portfolio expansion. The RTD and canning capabilities expand on the Two Trees’ sustainable maturation processes which uncover new taste experiences, first-to-market innovations and incremental growth.

Chad Slagle, Two Trees Beverage Co. CEO said, “There is a large segment of bourbon drinkers that would like to enjoy crisp, refreshing beverages that are wood-crafted and have the traditional, time-honored taste of bourbon. We can finally deliver all of that in one product. The carbonation breaks up the syrupy mouthfeel and opens up the nuances of our flavors. This makes it easier for even a novice bourbon drinker to enjoy. It is more approachable, with less burn which makes this more appealing to a broader base audience and more instantly refreshing.”

Global consumption of RTD’s grew by 43% in 2020, according to the IWSR, which projected 21.8% additional growth by 2024. According to the IWSR, in the U.S. the RTD category will be larger in volume than the spirits category by the end of this year.

“Seltzers have seen tremendous growth and unique product attributes will be necessary to continue delivering incremental category sales and attract new buyer audiences to the segment in order to maintain healthier profit margins.  Two Trees™ can help retailers with category expansion through malt-based, bourbon barrel-aged taste,” said Chris Sellers, president of Two Trees Beverage Co.”

Like all of the products Two Trees produces, the Two Trees™ Bourbon Barrel-Aged Seltzer is Sustainably Matured™. The Two Trees process leads to conservation in forestry, reduced emissions and reduced environmental footprint overall as well as other positive impacts pertaining to social and community responsibility.

The new Two Trees Bourbon Barrel-Aged Seltzer will be available in the second quarter of 2022 and the suggested retail price is $11.99 per 6 pack and ABV is 5.5%. Those interested in ordering the new ready to drink beverages should contact Chip Flanders at 803-767-1322 or email: info@twotreesdistilling.com

Dancing Goat Distillery Single Barrel Program Provides Unique Opportunity for Retailers to Personally Select Whiskey For Their Customers

Cambridge, WI March 7, 2022   In the first year of its single barrel program, Wisconsin’s Dancing Goat Distillery sold more than thirty-five barrels of whiskey, each personally selected by retailers for their stores.

“Our customers like to hear that we took the time to choose this particular whiskey for them,”  said George Beneos of Doti Liquors in Ilinois.  “Serious whiskey lovers and those new to whiskey both really appreciate the special attention and we enjoy the experience working closely with Dancing Goat to select our own barrel.”

Retailers are invited to the distillery or sent a selection of samples to taste based on the profiles they are seeking.  Proof, mash bill, aging and finishing are all variables that make each selection distinct.  Vice President of Distilling and Innovation, Nick Maas conducts a one-on-one tasting with the retailer while at the distillery or a virtual tasting through a zoom call if samples were sent directly.

“I love working with our retailer partners,” said Maas.  “It’s like a dance.  Going back and forth with each sip and sharing the nuances of different taste profiles that they are trying to achieve.  Eventually getting to the perfect whiskey experience that they want to provide their customers.

Barrels sold to date include the award-winning six year-old Limousin Rye with special bottled proofs and finishes. The distillery also made exclusive mash bills available under a Dancing Goat Distillery Single Barrel Selects label. These included rye bourbon, malted bourbon, oat bourbon and 100% corn whiskey.   Depending on the whiskey and proof selected, a barrel will yield between 15 to 40 six-pack 750ml cases.

Most recently, online retailer Seelbachs.com selected two different single barrels.  The first sold out in four hours and the second barrel sold out in even less time for a combined total of 200 bottles sold.  In addition to Seelbachs, the distillery has worked closely with retailers and distributors to select barrels for stores in Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, West Virginia, Missouri, Arkansas and Florida.

The Dancing Goat Distillery Single Barrel Program will continue and expand in 2022.   For more information and to set up a single barrel tasting/selection, please email to: info@dancinggoat.com.

The Dancing Goat Distillery is located in Cambridge, Wisconsin.  

It was named the 2021 Wisconsin Distillery of the Year at the New York International Spirit Competition.

You know when you find out you’re wrong but it’s okay because the whisky is still great? Had that with Rittenhouse.

Been telling people for years that it’s 65%+ rye mashbill. Turns out it’s just 51%. More Kentucky than it’s Pennsylvania roots would assume. Anyway! At four years old, 50% ABV and £40 per bottle…seriously folks, if your whisky preferences lean stateside, all you really need is a bottle of this, Wild Turkey 101 and Makers 46. Bold statement but I’m sticking by it.

Rye is a devisive style, can be too dry for some, but this is full of quite exotic fruits and warm honey notes. So don’t be too put off by the word ‘rye’. Embrace it for it’s full flavoured style and rather affordable price point.
