On today’s podcast, we speak with the wonderful Adam and Nora from Lost Lantern. Lost Lantern is a Vermont-based Independent Bottler. We talk about the challenges they encountered bringing the concept of independent bottling to the US and the excitement of visiting all of these distilleries that they work with.

We also had the privilege of being able to sample their Summer of Bourbon II selections and break down a few of their special releases like Missippii Memory from the now ghost distillery, Rich Grain.

So grab a glass, make a pour and let’s find our way to some delicious spirits with Lost Lantern!

We then get into their motto “Ne Oublie” and how it became their own creed that they started this distillery journey upon. We then dive into to their newest release, a 6 year Wheated bourbon using their signature heirloom corn, the Bloody Butcher.

Ready for something a bit different? Bourbon with Friends turns to Rum with Friends for this episode where we sit down with Jordan Morris and Turner Wathen of Rolling Fork Rum Company.

We start the conversation learning how their wives brought them together, their feelings on how rum is perceived by the casual drinker, how they joined forces with Starlight Distillery out of Indiana, and some of their favorite rum pairings. We also were fortunate enough to get to try three of their rum expressions including the Heart of Gold.
