Amburana Finished Bourbon

Hard Truth’s award-winning Sweet Mash Bourbon is aged to maturity in new, charred American Oak barrels before being finished with toasted Amburana, a Brazilian hardwood known for its tight grain and distinct aroma. This finishing process adds nuances of cinnamon, maple, honey, and subtle hints of baking spices that further enhance the complexity of the great flavor.
