Independent bottler Lost Lantern has unveiled its Fall 2025 Collection, a range of American single and vatted malts designed to appeal to Scotch whisky drinkers. The seven-whiskey collection, named The Scotch Lovers’ Collection, will be available from November 12 and features bottlings from distilleries including McCarthy’s, Warfield, and Triple Eight.
The release follows the official recognition of American single malt as a whiskey category by the US federal government earlier this year.
Lost Lantern’s new series focuses on American single malts with more traditional flavor profiles that may be familiar to fans of Scotch.
“While the single malts and blended malts in this Collection are not and could never be Scotch, which can only be made in Scotland, these unique and exceptional whiskies will hold special appeal for Scotch lovers,” said co-founder Adam Polonski.
He added: “We worked closely with each of the distilleries in this collection to source truly first-of-their-kind whiskies for this Collection as a way to invite Scotch lovers into American single malt.”
Launched in 2020, Lost Lantern operates as an independent bottler inspired by the traditional Scottish model and has collaborated with more than 40 US distilleries. The Scotch Lovers’ Collection is the company’s first to be composed entirely of single and blended malts.
“American single malt has rapidly become one of the most dynamic styles of whiskey in the world,” said co-founder and head blender Nora Ganley-Roper. “We are excited for Scotch lovers to join us in exploring the more traditional side of this fast-rising style.”
The collection includes two blended malts: American Vatted Malt Remix ($100), a blend of single malts from 11 distilleries, and American Vatted Malt Reissue ($90), a return of the company’s inaugural 2020 release.

Five single casks complete the range, including the company’s first Idaho release, Warfield Idaho Single Malt ($100).
A trio of whiskeys from Nantucket-based Triple Eight marks the first time the distillery has released single cask or cask-strength bottlings. These are the Triple Eight Peated Massachusetts Single Malt ($120), a 10-year-old expression ($150), and an 11-year-old single malt matured in a Sauternes cask ($180).
The final bottling is McCarthy’s Peated Oregon Single Malt 10 Years Old ($150), the first 10-year-old release from the distillery credited with pioneering the American single malt category.
All releases are non-chill-filtered and presented with no added color.
The whiskies will be available online via the company website and Seelbachs.com, as well as in select retail stores.
“Scotch independent bottlers heavily influenced our approach to American whiskey, so it’s only natural for us to shine a light on American single malts that particularly speak to Scotch drinkers… A group that includes ourselves!” Ganley-Roper added.
