Lost Lantern Far-Flung Rye Review
Bottled at a cask-strength 60.8 percent ABV, this release from independent bottler Lost Lantern combines rye whiskeys from Indiana, Iowa, Ohio, and Wisconsin. (In the case of Indiana, it’s worth noting that the source is the Starlight Distillery and not MGP.) Ranging in age from 4-9 years, the multi-state, Midwest blend shows lots of complexity on the nose, with dark sugar and baking spice aromas dancing with fresh green notes. The high alcohol content never overpowers the nose or palate, the latter of which is chocolate- and malt-rich, akin to booze-soaked Whoppers.
