Slaughter House American Whiskey

Damn smooth. Made in Napa and aged in Bordeaux barrels.

What started out promising as interesting & unique eventually evolved into dull & average as I worked my way through the bottle. Sometimes the appreciation of a whisky is enhanced over the course of a bottle & sometimes the opposite happens (as in this case). Sweet and wine-like fruitiness on the senses leads to a decent chest warmth. Probably worth trying but picking up a bottle not recommended - after finishing just shy of half the bottle, I happily donated the remainder to the ping pong crew. Rating: Not sure if the Distiller score is grading on the American distillery curve here, but it’s 10 points too high for me. In fact, if I have any additional pours of this, I fear there’s a slight possibility I end up rounding down to two stars.
