Lost Lantern Triple Eight Massachusetts Single Malt 10 Years Old – 2025 Single Cask #18, 124.2 proof

The New Gold Standard
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.

About Triple Eight
If you asked every American Single Malt distiller in the United States what they thought the best American Single Malt in the country was (excluding their own, of course), we have zero doubt that the consensus would be The Notch.
The Notch is the flagship American Single Malt that Triple Eight, one of the country’s oldest American Single Malt distilleries, makes and painstakingly ages on a small corner of the Cisco Brewers compound on Nantucket Island. This singular single malt, normally released with a 12 or 15 year age statement and primarily available on Nantucket, is arguably the finest example not just of what American Single Malt is, but what it can be.
