About the product:

Lost Lantern hand-selected this cask from Ironroot Republic Distilling on the North Texas plains, an hour north of Dallas and just a few miles south of the Oklahoma border. The family-owned distillerys use of European distillation techniques and its experiments with rare heirloom strains of corn push the boundaries of what straight bourbon can be. Beyond that, the Likarish family have quickly established themselves as one of the most important (and most welcoming and generous) voices in Texas whiskey.

Aged for 3 years in a 65-gallon barrel, this was made from 65% yellow dent corn, 30% bloody butcher red corn, and 5% Floriani corn, a rare Italian heirloom red flint corn.

This is our third cask, and second bourbon, from Ironroot Republic, which has consistently been one of our most requested and sought-after partners.

Tasting Notes:

It has warm oak spice and hints of pomegranate and cherry on the nose, with notes of marzipan, rich oak, sweet vanilla cream, and fresh cornbread on the palate.
