American chasing whisky in tragedy? (5)
I believe the answer is:
drama
'tragedy?' is the definition.
(tragedy is a kind of drama)
'american chasing whisky in' is the wordplay.
'american' becomes 'Am' (abbreviation in some contexts).
'chasing whisky' becomes 'dra' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'am' put inside 'dra' is 'DRAMA'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for drama that I've seen before include "Stage play - turmoil" , "Play - big emotional scene" , "Plays as branch of literature" , "Serious play" , "Emotional sequence of events (made out of a crisis?)" .)
