After aging 9 years in American oak, this whiskey finishes for an undisclosed time in barrels that previously held the winery's proprietary Bordeaux blend, Papillon. Slaughter House American Whiskey was released in 2015 and is a follow-up to the company's first product, Straight Edge Bourbon.

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."
