Lasso Motel 18 Year American Straight Whiskey hails from the heart of the United States, crafted with a mash bill of 99% corn and 1% malted barley. Aged for 18 years in seasoned bourbon barrels, it carries a depth that only time can produce. The nose is perfumed and inviting, with brown sugar, butterscotch, and creme brûlée tempered by dry oak and hints of fresh apple pie, making each first sniff a warm, nostalgic embrace.
On the palate, this whiskey is alive and intricate, offering spiced vanilla custard, black peppercorn, almond extract, and bursts of dried cherry and apricot, with a touch of sparkling grape juice and a subtle Szechuan-like tingling. Orange peel and cocoa powder mingle with soft leathers and mature oak, creating a finish that lingers with a delicate yet bold complexity.
Best enjoyed neat or with a single ice cube to unlock its full spectrum, Lasso Motel 18 Year American Straight Whiskey showcases the pinnacle of American craftsmanship. Its richness, sweetness, and layered spice tell a story of patience, tradition, and the art of aging, leaving a lasting impression sip after sip.
