Tonight's Whisk(e) Wednesday at Julio's Liquors was all about America’s 250th Anniversary Offerings. We sampled eight offerings from different bottlers, but the ones that came home with me are three special bourbons from Lost Lantern Whiskey.
First up is the United States of Bourbon 1776 Special Edition 250th Anniversary. This is a blend of straight bourbon whiskies from the first 13 states - aka the 13 colonies. It is limited to 1776 bottles and comes in at 60.7% ABV. I think this one might be my favorite.
Next is the United States of Bourbon 100 Proof, Edition 1. This is a blend of straight bourbon whiskies from all 50 states. As far as I know, that's never been done before. It's 50% ABV, of course.
Last, but not least, is the United States of Bourbon Cask Strength, Edition 1. This is also a blend of straight bourbon whiskies from all 50 states - in fact, the same blend as the previous bottle, just at Cask strength, 61.5% ABV in this case.
I'm not normally one who cares too much about proof. I mostly prefer things to be above 46% and non-chill filtered, but I find a lot of cask strength whisky has more flavor with a little water added. But this is an exception.
While they're both good, I prefer the cask strength bottling. While it is the same blend, it has a depth and complexity of flavor beyond that of the 100 Proof.
Lost Lantern includes a list of all the distilleries on the back of the bottle, but they go beyond that on their website. Not only do they list the distilleries, but they include the age, mash bill, and any other information they could, such as barrel size. They're very transparent about what they bottle.
These are all available individually at $249.99, $89.99, and $109.99, respectfully, but Julio's is offering the full set of three at a discounted price of $380 - a $70 savings! https://juliosliquors.com/shop?product-id=6a2b2874fe887a01775574a1
These are selling fast and supplies are limited. Julio's has open bottles to try before you buy, but I think the set is worth picking up. It's something special which, to my knowledge, has never been done before. While they left the door open to another edition of the 50 states bottles (Edition 1), the 1776 states 'never to be repeated'.
These were a multi-year labor of love by the folks at Lost Lattern, and they've created something truly unique and special. This isn't just a red, white, and blue label slapped on a standard offering.
I also picked up my pre-ordered Copper & Cask 'B.B. Queen' Straight Bourbon Whiskey Finished in a Honey Barrel. This is a Blanton's pick barrel that was used to barrel age honey after the Blanton's was bottled. After the honey was removed the barrel was refilled with MGP bourbon. Then the barrel was sent to age in the Texas heat. With six years of total age and an ABV of 58.6%, this bourbon has a strong, but not cloying or unpleasant, scent and taste of honey.
While supplies last, the B.B. Queen includes a small bottle of the honey that had been aged in the cask.
All in all, a good night.

Tonight's Whisk(e) Wednesday at Julio's Liquors was all about America’s 250th Anniversary Offerings. We sampled eight offerings from different bottlers, but the ones that came home with me are three special bourbons from Lost Lantern Whiskey.
First up is the United States of Bourbon 1776 Special Edition 250th Anniversary. This is a blend of straight bourbon whiskies from the first 13 states - aka the 13 colonies. It is limited to 1776 bottles and comes in at 60.7% ABV. I think this one might be my favorite.
Next is the United States of Bourbon 100 Proof, Edition 1. This is a blend of straight bourbon whiskies from all 50 states. As far as I know, that's never been done before. It's 50% ABV, of course.
Last, but not least, is the United States of Bourbon Cask Strength, Edition 1. This is also a blend of straight bourbon whiskies from all 50 states - in fact, the same blend as the previous bottle, just at Cask strength, 61.5% ABV in this case.
I'm not normally one who cares too much about proof. I mostly prefer things to be above 46% and non-chill filtered, but I find a lot of cask strength whisky has more flavor with a little water added. But this is an exception.
While they're both good, I prefer the cask strength bottling. While it is the same blend, it has a depth and complexity of flavor beyond that of the 100 Proof.
Lost Lantern includes a list of all the distilleries on the back of the bottle, but they go beyond that on their website. Not only do they list the distilleries, but they include the age, mash bill, and any other information they could, such as barrel size. They're very transparent about what they bottle.
These are all available individually at $249.99, $89.99, and $109.99, respectfully, but Julio's is offering the full set of three at a discounted price of $380 - a $70 savings! https://juliosliquors.com/shop?product-id=6a2b2874fe887a01775574a1
These are selling fast and supplies are limited. Julio's has open bottles to try before you buy, but I think the set is worth picking up. It's something special which, to my knowledge, has never been done before. While they left the door open to another edition of the 50 states bottles (Edition 1), the 1776 states 'never to be repeated'.
These were a multi-year labor of love by the folks at Lost Lattern, and they've created something truly unique and special. This isn't just a red, white, and blue label slapped on a standard offering.
I also picked up my pre-ordered Copper & Cask 'B.B. Queen' Straight Bourbon Whiskey Finished in a Honey Barrel. This is a Blanton's pick barrel that was used to barrel age honey after the Blanton's was bottled. After the honey was removed the barrel was refilled with MGP bourbon. Then the barrel was sent to age in the Texas heat. With six years of total age and an ABV of 58.6%, this bourbon has a strong, but not cloying or unpleasant, scent and taste of honey.
While supplies last, the B.B. Queen includes a small bottle of the honey that had been aged in the cask.
All in all, a good night.

Tonight was amazing. We hosted 20+ of our friends for Pappy's Pizza Party. So much whiskey, pizza, and ice cream.
I have no patience for pretentiousness when it comes to whisky. So we thought, how should we take the piss out of the aura around Pappy Van Winkle, BTAC, and the like? The answer - pair it with pizza and ice cream!
So we ordered a number of pizzas from our favorite local joint, Blue Square Pizza, as well as several frozen pizzas from St. Louis and Chicago - Imo's, Giordano's & Lou Malnati's. We had salad which was mostly veggies from our local CSA, Small Farm.
Dessert was ice cream from the BEST place around - Erikson's Ice Cream. And chocolate from Goodnow Farms.
I put out some nice Glenmorangie, the Compass Box Whisky Hedonism 10th Anniversary, some Willett, Van Winkle from the 10 through the 23, the BTAC collection circa 2012, and a few others.
Friends brought even more pizza, a chocolate cream pie, cookies, a Four Roses Single Barrel, several bottles of Weller, a Penelope, and more I'm probably forgetting. We had a lot of whisky.
We ended up pulling out the Glenmorangie Milsean to compare with the Harrison Ford. The Middle West Spirits Pumpernickel Rye and Ported Pumpernickel for a few who hadn't yet tried them, same for the Copper & Cask Roxie and The Doctor Is In, and even more.
And we killed the Pappy 23!
Fantastic evening - good food, good whisky, and good friends.
Whisky is for sharing, not for staring.
