Barrel Finish Reserve 2024 Blend

With an award-winning lineage, Hard Truth’s Barrel Finish Reserve 2024 Blend is a rare, rich, rye whiskey perfect for slow savoring.

This single expression is an artful blend of the four from our 2023 Barrel Finish Reserve collection — Hard Truth Sweet Mash Rye Whiskey (RW-1) rested in Cognac, Pedro Ximénez Sherry, Pedro Ximénez Brandy, and Sauternes barrels — rested on toasted Jupilles French oak.

An homage to the traditional cigar blend whiskey, Barrel Finish Reserve 2024 Blend seamlessly combines this collection of flavor profiles, with the French oak adding softness and depth while marrying the elements together in a complex, cohesive whiskey worth enjoying over and over again.
