High Road Rye
Hard Truth High Road Rye brings the same flavor complexity that fans of the original, barrel-strength Hard Truth Sweet Mash Rye Whiskey have grown to expect, but at an easy-to-drink 93-proof that’s perfect for every level of whiskey lover.
Crafted for long evenings with favored companions, quiet nights by the fire, and any notable moment of Truth, the High Road is a route worth taking.
