Lost Lantern Broad Branch Distillery North Carolina Straight Rye 8 Years Old 141.6 Proof 750ml

Lost Lantern hand-selected this exceptional cask from Broad Branch Distillery in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Rooted in the state's rich distilling tradition, Broad Branch makes spirits that capture the essence and culture of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

This release, our first from Broad Branch, is both our first southern rye whiskey and our first hazmat rye whiskey. It was made from 100% prairie rye and aged for 8 years in a 53 gallon char 4 barrel. The nose is minty and grassy, with notes of clove and butterscotch. The powerful palate has intense spicy oak notes, dark chocolate, and a very full mouthfeel. A powerful and deep rye whiskey, perfect for serious bourbon and rye lovers.

At a near-hazmat 141.6 proof with only 174 bottles produced, this is an extraordinary opportunity to experience North Carolina's craft rye whiskey tradition. The 100% Washington State prairie rye creates a bold, uncompromising expression that showcases the intensity and complexity that eight years of southern aging can achieve.

Available March 25th!
