Lasso Motel Whiskey Introduces Darts Blend: A Bold New Expression Inspired by Dive Bar Nostalgia

Dallas, Texas – 4/2/2025 – Lasso Motel Whiskey, the award-winning spirits brand known for its aged whiskey lineup and innovative cask finishes, proudly unveils Darts Cigarette Blend, a bold new expression crafted for those who feel at home in a cash-only dive bar.

Blended with precision and finished in Armagnac, Sherry, and Cognac casks, Darts delivers a rich, layered profile that embodies the rebellious spirit of a classic whiskey-and-cigarette ritual refined for today’s drinker. Deep notes of vanilla, dried fig fruit, apricot, rich leather, and toffee create a smoky, nostalgic complexity, paying tribute to those who appreciate whiskey with character, depth, and an undeniable sense of cool.

Founded by Devin Odell, a visionary force in the spirits industry and President of Dynasty Spirits, Lasso Motel Whiskey was inspired by the raw, rock-and-roll nostalgia of the legendary Belmont Hotel in Dallas—a now-shuttered but iconic landmark. The brand embraces a contemporary take on whiskey craftsmanship, blending premium aged expressions with globally sourced cask finishes.

“Darts is the kind of whiskey that feels lived-in—something you’d sip in a dimly lit bar, maybe after a few rounds of pool, lost in conversation,” says Devin Odell, Founder of Lasso Motel Whiskey & President of Dynasty Spirits. “It’s bold, layered, and unmistakably smooth delivering the warmth of deep notes of vanilla, dried fig fruit, apricot, rich leather, and toffee with the complexity of our signature cask finishes.”

Darts Cigarette Blend joins Lasso Motel Whiskey’s portfolio as a 100-proof (50% ABV), 750ml release with an SRP of $69.99. Darts will roll out in select markets: California, New York, New Jersey, Oklahoma, Nevada, Colorada, Texas and Florida and ships nationwide via Seelbach’s starting on April 2, 2025.
