Lost Lantern’s Summer 2025 Collection “celebrates the rise of estate distilleries.” These types of distilleries grow all of their own grain either onsite or within a short distance to their distilling facilities. This helps give rise to the “grain to glass” movement within the whiskey industry and, like wine, seeks to highlight terroir, or a "sense of place" that the whiskey embodies.    

The Souza family, who is known for D&S Farms in Atwater, California’s San Joaquin Valley, has been growing sweet potatoes and rye since 1917. Currently run by fourth-generation farmer David John Souza, he opened a distillery in 2009, which he named after his son, Corbin Cash Souza. The distillery is known for their merced rye, which is made from a 100% California native merced rye mashbill and typically aged up to 6 years. Lost Lantern 2025 Single Cask #9 is the fourth Corbin Cash single barrel released by Lost Lantern, following a 7 year rye in spring of 023, 7 year rye in fall of 2023, and 7 year bourbon in summer of 2024.

The third 7 year old Corbin Cash single barrel rye from Lost Lantern delivers a rich, full-flavored drinking experience much like its predecessors. The whiskey’s 100% merced rye mashbill combined with 7 years of barrel aging makes for a rye that’s sophisticated with ample barrel influence, yet still spice-filled and distinctive. The spice notes include cinnamon, rye, and baking spices. Underlying sweet notes temper the spice, which includes toffee, gingerbread cookie, pie crust, marzipan, brown sugar, and caramelized oak. There’s ample intensity on the nose, followed by a rich, chewy palate and very long finish that marries the whiskey’s spice and sweet notes. It’s a full-flavored affair, bringing some heat at 133 proof, and is once again a memorable rye whiskey from Corbin Cash.

Lost Lantern 2025 Single Cask #9: Corbin Cash 7 Year Rye is the most limited release of the Summer 2025 Collection, totaling only 108 bottles.
