Lonehand Whiskey is a brand owned by Dynasty Spirits, though I couldn’t find much information about the company. If you happen to know more, feel free to share in the comments! This whiskey is crafted using the Lincoln County Process, a traditional charcoal filtering method. When I spotted a 50ml mini bottle, I figured—why not give it a try and share my thoughts.

Before diving into the whiskey itself, let’s talk about the Lincoln County Process—a key step in making this Tennessee whiskey. For those unfamiliar, it’s a required filtration method where the whiskey is slowly passed through thick layers of sugar maple charcoal before aging. This technique helps mellow the spirit, giving it a smoother character. After filtration, the whiskey is aged in new, charred oak barrels, which adds a bit more depth and complexity. Now, let’s get into the tasting.

The Lincoln County Process clearly did its job—this whiskey is smooth and mellow. Is it groundbreaking? Not really. But it’s enjoyable. With creamy notes of vanilla, caramel, and oak, it delivers that classic whiskey profile without any flashy extras. It won’t blow you away, but it’s a solid, affordable pour—and in today’s market, that’s nothing to scoff at.

Cheers!
