Lost Lantern American Vatted Malt Remix Review

Lost Lantern is always pushing the boundaries of complex whiskey curation. 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.

“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.”

Five years later, it is time at last for American Vatted Malt Edition No. 2, a.k.a. American Vatted Malt Remix. This new blend shows how American single malt has truly come into its own and emerged as an important style of whiskey on the world stage. This blend takes the very last of the original American Vatted Malt and adds in American single malt from five other world-class distilleries: McCarthy’s in Oregon, Westland in Washington, Whiskey Del Bac in Arizona, Cedar Ridge in Iowa, and Andalusia in Texas.

This eleven-distillery blend, the most expansive we have ever made, captures the depth and breadth of American single malt in one bottle. It is maltier, richer, and slightly smokier than the first American Vatted Malt, and has a higher portion of used oak – so it is a bridge between a traditional Scotch profile and a more new oak-forward American one.

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.
