Lasso Motel “Darts” Cigarette Blend Whiskey
100 Proof (50 % ABV) • Kentucky Blend Whiskey • Finished in Armagnac, Sherry & Cognac Casks
Picture late nights in a dive bar, smoke curling in the dim light, darts on the wall, and a whiskey made for that moment. “Darts” Cigarette Blend by Lasso Motel is an audacious creation: a Kentucky blend whiskey distilled at Green River and finished in three legacy cask styles Armagnac, sherry, and cognac. The result is a whiskey that mingles smoke and sweetness, grit and grace.

- Palate: Rich layers leather and toffee lead, then tobacco, soft spice, vanilla, blanched almonds, fig, prune, and dried apricot.
- Finish: Warm, lingering, with smoke, oak, and a hint of sweet wood echoing long after the last sip. (Inferred from finish style and theme)
