Barrel Finish Reserve Double Oak Sweet Mash Rye

Double Oak Sweet Mash Rye begins with Hard Truth’s grain-to-glass philosophy, creating a whiskey that’s been carefully ushered through every step of its creation at our Indiana distillery.

The sweet mash process offers a bright, fruity aroma and velvety mouthfeel right off the still – qualities that darken and deepen beautifully when aged in toasted and charred oak.

Double Oak Sweet Mash Rye doubles down on this intense relationship, with the whiskey aging for an additional year in fresh barrels. More time, more age, and more barrel magic make for one of the most deeply flavorful profiles in Hard Truth Sweet Mash Whiskey
