Lost Lantern Balcones “Gentle Giant”

Lost Lantern

Country: USA

Region: Texas

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Lost Lantern Whiskey

ABV: 57.6%

Score: 93 Points

The team behind independent bottler Lost Lantern joined forces with Balcones Distilling in Texas on this American single malt that was matured in a combination of ex-Bourbon, European Oak, and ex-apple brandy casks. The nose is warm and aromatic with a nice malty character and touches of honey, red apples, and vanilla buttercream. The taste is thick and mouth-coating with good spices, barley sugar, red apples, and vanilla. The finish is long and spicy with a touch of oak.
