About the product

Lasso Motel 8 Year Kentucky Straight Whiskey is an American whiskey aged for eight years in new charred oak barrels, delivering maturity, balance, and structure while maintaining a modern premium identity. Distilled in Bardstown, Kentucky, this expression is produced from a traditional bourbon-style mash bill composed of 75% corn, 21% rye, and 4% malted barley, creating a whiskey that bridges richness with subtle spice.

Bottled at 100 proof (50% ABV), the extended aging allows the spirit to develop depth and integration, resulting in a rounded and full-bodied character designed for sipping neat, over ice, or in elevated classic whiskey cocktails. Although labeled as Kentucky Straight Whiskey, it follows bourbon production principles and represents the brand’s core aged expression within the Lasso Motel lineup.

Tasting Profile & Food Pairings

Tasting Notes

  • Nose: Very sweet and inviting. You'll find dark chocolate-covered caramels, dark honey, and roasted pralines. There are also notes of root beer float and candied cherries with a hint of dry oak.
  • Palate: It mimics the nose with a rich, "tingling" mouthfeel. Expect brandy-soaked cherries, cocoa-dusted espresso beans, and a touch of five-spice.
  • Finish: Long and satisfying. It leaves a "sugar cookie" sweetness on the tongue, followed by a rise of black pepper and a clean, smoky oak finish.

Food Pairings

  • Savory: Bacon-Wrapped Dates. The sweetness of the dates and the salt/fat of the bacon perfectly mirror the caramel and cherry notes of the whiskey.
  • Main Course: Glazed Pork Belly. The rich, fatty pork benefits from the 100-proof "cut," while a honey or maple glaze plays into the bourbon's corn sweetness.
  • Cheese: Smoked Gouda. The slight smokiness of the cheese enhances the barrel char notes in the finish, while the creaminess tames the rye spice.
  • The "Bar Top" Pairing: Roasted Salted Pecans. The nuttiness of the pecans draws out the praline and toffee notes found in the whiskey's aroma.

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.
