Dark Roast Rye begins with Hard Truth’s grain-to-glass philosophy, brought to life through a 50/50 blend of two distinctive mash bills: RW-3 Chocolate Malt Rye and RW-4 Caramel Malt Rye.

Dark Roast Rye is Bottled-in-Bond, meaning it is the product of a single distilling season, from one distillery, aged at least four years, and bottled at 100 proof under U.S. government supervision. This designation ensures consistency, authenticity, and a whiskey that speaks clearly to its origin, which fully embodies Hard Truth’s grain-to-glass approach to whiskey-making.

“Dark Roast Rye is complex, sweet, malty, dark and brooding. It’s destined to become
serious mixologists’ secret weapon, adding flavors both nuanced and bold to cocktails.
For the whiskey-lover who prefers a neat pour: Find a seat with a great view, a warm
campfire, a cigar (if that’s your thing), and settle in for an amazing glass of whiskey,” said Master Distiller Bryan Smith

Dark Roast Rye’s official release is set for Saturday, Sept. 26 at Hard Truth’s Harvest Festival.

The first Barrel Finish Reserve whiskey of 2026 has arrived.

French Oak Finished Bourbon begins with a blend of our BW-1 Straight Bourbon and BW-5 All Indiana Grain Bourbon, each crafted grain-to-glass through Hard Truth’s signature sweet mash process.

Master Distiller Bryan Smith selected just 23 barrels to finish in toasted French oak casks, adding refined warmth and layered sweetness to this unique bourbon blend.
