Lost Lantern hand-selected this cask from Triple Eight Distillery on the island of Nantucket. The distillery’s traditional methods, long aging times, and the maritime climate of Nantucket make for exquisitely balanced whiskies that truly rank among the finest single malts in the world. Its flagship single malt, The Notch, is the longest-aged American single malt ever released and a beacon for what American single malt can be.

This release is part of a Lost Lantern trio of the first Triple Eight single casks ever released. This exceptional single malt was fully matured for 11 years in an ex-Sauternes cask. The nose bursts with notes of golden raisins, honey, and candied almonds. The warm, rich palate has hints of dried figs, honey-roasted peanuts, and chocolate sea salt caramels. The finish is bright, long, and warm. 

This single malt is not only our first whiskey fully aged in Sauternes casks, it is the oldest whiskey we have ever released.

Adam’s note: Triple Eight’s flagship American single malt, The Notch, is one of the industry’s most beloved whiskies. It does not last long at any industry tasting. Yet the distillery’s small size and long aging have meant its whiskey is normally very limited in availability, primarily at the distillery on Nantucket. We are honored not only to release Triple Eight’s first single casks and first cask strength whiskies ever, but to be able to make the whiskies available more widely and at a more approachable price point.  

This single cask reminds me of my favorite Scotch single malts from the Highlands, powerful yet warm and honeyed at the same time.
