I may not be American, but I like most of the world is hooked into seeing how this election plays out. I thought Slaughter House American Whiskey would be an appropriate pick for this evening's festivities. This nose starts rough, but eases up after a few minutes, letting malty tones shine through. The heated slap in your chest post-first drink eases the anxiety of scrolling for ballot results. Later sips feature oak and caramel with fairly thin body. For the amount of early bark Slaughter House provides (...like certain politicians), the finish lacks bite and resolves smoothly. Given tonight's complicated landscape, I appreciate how straightforward this whiskey is. 8/10
