Hi [[ contact.first_name | capitalize | default: "Fellow whiskey drinker" ]],
The New York Times covered this one. That's not the reason to buy it — but it's worth noting before explaining why the bottle itself earns the attention.
Lost Lantern's United States of Bourbon is the first blend of bourbon from all 50 states. Not a concept — an actual production reality achieved by visiting every single distillery in the blend in person to source the barrels. Every distillery is listed openly on the back label. No sourcing opacity, no mystery components. This is what radical transparency looks like
at scale.
Three versions just landed:
100 Proof and Cask Strength both contain bourbon from all 50 states — the same unprecedented geographic scope at two different proof points. The 100 Proof is the approachable entry into the concept. The Cask Strength is where the full complexity of fifty distilleries' contributions arrives without dilution softening the edges.
The 1776 Edition is different. Hand-numbered, limited, and built from bourbon sourced from just the original 13 states — a specific gesture toward America's 250th that narrows the geographic scope deliberately, honoring the founding states in the same year the country marks a quarter-millennium.
Buy all three and shipping applies as a $25 discount on your order. (use discount code LOST-LANTERN-TRIO during checkout). The 1776 Edition is the one with the shortest supply — hand-numbered means the count is fixed.
Cheers, De Wine Spot Team
