Lost Lantern Kings County Bourbon Private Cask #1 – Breaking Bourbon
Age:Â 5-year old
Proof:Â 130.6 proof
Mash Bill:Â 80/20 New York State organic corn and English malt
Barrel: 15-gallon barrel
Bottle Count: 40 bottles
Tasting Notes: An unusually dark whiskey, deep mahogany in color. Bold, punchy scents waft from the glass. Fire singed oak, tobacco, cocoa, and dark chocolate with a touch of nougat. The sip really lights up on the palate, with a potent mix of caramel, leather, and all kinds of wood delivered with an intoxicating astringency. It’s unapologetic and unique. Sweet and spice come together with intensity as the flavors fade, making for a long, memorable sip whose intensity isn’t for the faint of heart. Step aside George T. Stagg.Â
