This fall, Vermont-based American whiskey bottler Lost Lantern launches its first collection devoted entirely to one distillery, and its first partnership with a large, heritage distillery: George Dickel.
Cascade Hollow Distilling Co., better known as George Dickel, is one of roughly a dozen American distilleries with generations of whiskey-making history, the whiskey brand notes. Founded in 1878 and rebuilt in the 1950s, the Tullahoma, Tennessee-based distillery has reached new heights under distiller Nicole Austin, who also serves as Diageo’s Director of American Whiskey Liquid Development.
“Our mission has always been to shine a light on wonderful whiskies from all across the country,” said Adam Polonski, head of whiskey sourcing for Lost Lantern, in a news release. “From the beginning, we’ve always said we’d be open to working with a large, well-known heritage distillery, as long as we had something to add to the conversation about that distillery and could work with them the same way we work with small distilleries: working directly with their team, tasting every barrel before we select it, and being fully transparent about the source right on the label. We had that opportunity with George Dickel.”

The collection ranges from 18-year-old Tennessee whiskey to wheat whiskey, light whiskey, bourbon that has not undergone charcoal filtration and Tennessee-distilled rye, according to the whiskey brand. It includes three releases in Lost Lantern’s Single Distillery Series, as well as a wide range of single casks representing seven different styles of whiskey. Due to their limited nature, many of these single casks are exclusive to individual retailers.
“These are whiskies that we didn’t even know George Dickel made until we visited and started working with Nicole,” said Nora Ganley-Roper, general manager and head blender, in the news release. ”Our George Dickel Collection is the ultimate whiskey nerd’s take on one of the giants of American whiskey.”
All the releases in the collection are cask strength, non-chill-filtered, with no color added and released with full transparency on their origin, according to the whiskey brand.
The Lost Lantern Fall 2026 George Dickel Collection will be available beginning Wednesday, October 21st via LostLanternWhiskey.com, Seelbachs.com, at select retailers in CA, NY, MA, and IL, and at the Lost Lantern Tasting Room in Vergennes, VT.
