Lost Lantern Massachusetts Single Malt Whiskey Triple Eight Single Cask 18 10 Year Old
Regular price $155.98
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. Aged for 10 years in an ex-bourbon barrel, it has notes of graham cracker, sea salt caramels, and french vanilla on the nose. The palate has balanced spice and hints of butterscotch, caramel apples, and vanilla. bright yet deep, with distinct maritime influence.
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 limited quantities and very long aging have meant it is normally very limited in availability, primarily available 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 particularly reminds me of some of my favorite single malt Scotch whiskies from Speyside and nearby parts of the Highlands – rich, deep, and complex, with balanced spice.
Shipping Policy
- Unless your delivery address is on the West Coast, we strongly discourage you from selecting “Ground Service” as your shipping method. During the winter and summer months, weather conditions (temperature) and longer delivery times can often result in the spoilage of your order. It doesn’t make sense to invest in fine wines and then take the chance of ruining them due environmental factors during transit (faster and safer delivery generally isn’t much more expensive). We don’t make an additional profit on accelerated delivery, but we frequently recommend faster shipping options to our customers outside the West Coast.
- You must be 21 years of age to order or receive alcoholic beverages. Any shipments containing alcoholic beverages are sent with an “Adult Signature Required” sticker, and the common carrier that delivers our merchandise is required to ask and check for identification upon delivery. This means that an adult will have to be present at the time of delivery. Please consider shipping to an office address.
- During periods of extreme weather, we attempt to ship wines at the beginning of each week in order to get shipments to you before the weekend. This is because we have no control over the temperature conditions at our freight carriers’ warehouses. The result may be that your shipment doesn’t go out the day that you place an order.
- We ship by Fedex or Fedex Ground. Our prices include packaging materials. Insurance may be available for an additional charge.
- Vintage Wine Merchants, Inc. will arrange for shipment on behalf of the buyer, to an address specified by the buyer, provided that Vintage Wine Merchants, Inc. in its sole judgment believes that such shipment will not subject Vintage Wine Merchants, Inc. to the risk of any sort of legal action or other harm. If a buyer lives in a state where the direct shipment of wine by Vintage Wine Merchants, Inc. violates the law, we suggest that the buyer provide an alternative address in another state or have their wine shipped to a third-party storage facility in a direct shipping-friendly state.
- Various states impose limitations on the quantity of alcoholic beverages that may be purchased and brought into their jurisdiction by a purchaser from another state without requiring the purchaser, a seller or shipper to possess certain licenses or permits. Vintage Wine Merchants, Inc. does not, as a condition of sale, assume any obligation nor bear any responsibility whatsoever for applying or obtaining any permits or licenses. Therefore, we recommend that you investigate the possibility of such limitations, and determine the manner in which alcoholic beverages shall be brought into your state from California, so as to comply with all of your state’s requirements.
