About the product
Lasso Motel 4 Years Wheated Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a modern American bourbon distilled at the Green River Distillery in Kentucky and aged for four years in new American oak barrels. Crafted using a wheated mash bill, wheat replaces rye as the secondary grain, creating a softer, rounder and more approachable bourbon style known for its smooth texture and balanced character.
Bottled at 100 proof (50% ABV), this expression delivers structure and depth while maintaining elegance and drinkability. The extended barrel aging develops richness and integration, allowing the whiskey to showcase classic Kentucky craftsmanship with a contemporary identity inspired by mid-century Americana and creative culture.
Designed for versatility, Lasso Motel 4 Years Wheated Bourbon is equally suited for sipping neat, enjoying over ice, or elevating classic whiskey cocktails. The distinctive heavy-glass decanter presentation reinforces its premium positioning both on retail shelves and behind the bar.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairings
Tasting Notes
- Nose: Very "bright" and inviting. You’ll get notes of red apple, Hawaiian sweet rolls, and caramel corn. There’s a faint floral undertone, like honeysuckle.
- Palate: It’s often described as "whispering, not yelling." Expect milk chocolate, honey graham crackers, and vanilla cream. Mid-palate, it shifts into cedar and baking spices like clove and cinnamon.
- Finish: Clean and sweet. It leaves a lingering taste of maple syrup and toasted walnuts.
Food Pairings
- Savory: Honey-Glazed Fried Chicken. The "breadiness" of the wheat in the bourbon perfectly matches the crispy crust of the chicken, while the honey glaze pulls out the floral notes.
- Cheese: Mild Brie or Camembert. These creamy, buttery cheeses harmonize with the soft mouthfeel of a wheated bourbon.
- Sweet: Peach Cobbler or Apple Pie. The cooked fruit and cinnamon spices in these desserts are a natural extension of the bourbon's "red apple" and "baking spice" profile.
- The Relaxed Pairing: A Mild Connecticut Shade Cigar. Because this bourbon is more delicate, a heavy cigar would overpower it. A light, creamy Connecticut wrapper is the perfect match.
About the brand
Lasso Motel is a bold, Texas-based whiskey brand that trades traditional "Old West" tropes for the neon-lit, rock-and-roll nostalgia of mid-century Americana. Founded in 2024 by industry veteran Devin Odell (President of Dynasty Spirits), the brand is a tribute to the storied, now-shuttered Belmont Hotel in Dallas, where Odell lived for four years alongside musicians and artists.
