Tasting Notes
"The first whiff of Slaughter House Whiskey suggests that there's something unusual to it -- in this case, a cask finish in the winery's Bordeaux blend barrels. Wine cask-finished whiskeys are a gamble, but this is one that pays off. The soft, roasty notes of the grain are very nicely complemented by bright fruit and sweet oak to create a highly enjoyable sipping whiskey."
