Lost Lantern Opulent Orchard New York Distilling Co. Apple Brandy Finished Straight Rye Whiskey

Bold, experimental, and unmistakably New York—this exceptional rye marks a proud return to where it all began. Lost Lantern’s very first rye whiskey partner, New York Distilling Co., helped lead the revival of rye in the Empire State, and this release captures their pioneering spirit in full force.

Crafted from a unique marriage of three 7-year-old rye whiskies, each finished in American apple brandy barrels, this bottle represents the cutting edge of northern rye. It’s the first rye whiskey ever featured in our Single Distillery Series—and it’s a standout.

On the nose, vibrant aromas of fresh apple, rye spice, and black licorice set the tone. The palate follows through with rich layers of cinnamon applesauce, warm apple pie, wintergreen mint, and toasted oak, all wrapped in a finish that leans peppery, spicy, and satisfyingly long.

The apple brandy cask influence brings bright fruit complexity without sacrificing the depth and bite of the rye itself. It’s an elegant collision of orchard sweetness and signature spice.

Extremely limited single distillery release. A must-have for fans of finished rye, East Coast whiskey, and adventurous American spirits.
