The Lost Distillery Company
The Lost Distillery Company doesn’t have warehouses full of old whisky, nor a dimension-spanning porthole to the past, but aspire to create present day expressions of legendary whiskies crafted almost a century ago. They focus on the 10 key components that created the character of the original whisky, helped by an Archiving Team who gather information on how the spirit may have tasted when it was last distilled. These components may be the location, the water, the yeast, what material the mash tun was made from, and the shape and size of the still. Since chill filtration wasn’t a thing a century ago, no whiskies from The Lost Distillery Company are chill filtered.

Tasting Notes:
Aroma: Earthy maritime air with cigar leaves and a burst of smoke, dark chocolate and complex hints of a warm summer evening.
Taste: Sweet baked pears stewing in syrup followed by subtle butts of smoke with brazil nuts, its oily on the palate and then spicy notes come through.
Finish: A beautiful balance of sweetness, spice only fades after a long time.
