Lost Lantern Discovery Club

Discover American Whiskey's Rising Stars 

At Lost Lantern, we shine a light on the most unique and exciting whiskies from small distilleries across the country. Now, with the Lost Lantern Discovery Club, you’ll get to experience this journey of discovery firsthand and get special access to new whiskies from great distilleries all across the country.

The Lost Lantern Discovery Club is a subscription whiskey club. Every other month, members will receive a new Lost Lantern release, exclusively available to Discovery Club members, from a rising star or hidden gem of American whiskey. Members also receive a number of other perks, including early access to new Lost Lantern releases, special online events and tastings, and exclusive access to past Discovery Club bottlings.

All orders of three bottles or more receive 1 cent shipping!

What You'll Get

Signup Bottle: Once you purchase the Discovery Club, we’ll immediately send you your first bottle. This special signup bottle is our way of getting you something to enjoy right away until the next release rolls around! The current signup bottle is a pot still whiskey from Painted Stave Distilling in Smyrna, Delaware. See below for more details!

Unique Releases: Every other month, you’ll get an exclusive new bottling from a rising star distillery that’s redefining American whiskey. These distilleries, most of them first-time Lost Lantern partners, are hard-to-find and not well known outside of their home turf. The Discovery Club ranges across all styles of American whiskey. Roughly 50% of releases are bourbon, and 50% are other styles, like rye, American single malt, and more unusual whiskies. 

VIP Access: Get early access to ALL new online Lost Lantern releases, and to occasional releases of otherwise sold-out whiskies. Members also unlock access to all previous Discovery Club bottlings that remain available.

Expert Curation: As always, the Lost Lantern team has personally visited every single distillery we work with (and many more besides), making sure that we’re truly finding the most unique and interesting distilleries all across the country. We hand-selected all barrels directly from the distilleries themselves. 

Behind-the-Scenes Stories: Learn the story behind each bottle and each distillery, what makes them special, and why they stand out to us. We occasionally host conversations and tastings with distillers so you can hear their stories directly from the founders!

Reduced Shipping: To keep the Discovery Club itself affordable, we do charge for shipping (covering a portion of the cost ourselves). But we offer one cent shipping on any order of three or more bottles!

Painted Stave Delaware Pot Still Whiskey

Lost Lantern hand-selected this cask from Painted Stave Distilling, one of the only distilleries in Delaware. Housed in a restored 1940s movie theater, Painted Stave explores both traditional and boundary-pushing whiskey styles with creativity and precision.

Lost Lantern's first single pot still whiskey, this was made from 70% unmalted barley, 10% malted barley, 10% beechwood-smoked malted barley, and 10% rye. Aged for 5 years in a 30-gallon ex-rye cask, it has inviting aromas of banana bread, honey oat cereal, and white chocolate. The warm palate has notes of caramel candies, snickerdoodles, and light vanilla spice. Elegant, nuanced, and deeply expressive.
