The first Hard Truth sweet mash whiskey to market in 2021, releases of this core mash bill have earned consistent critical acclaim and taken home a number of awards.
This very limited release of Hard Truth Sweet Mash Rye offers a delightfully complex drinking experience that showcases both the flavor nuances made possible by the sweet mash process and the impact that extended aging can have on developing them.
