Malted Rye Sweet Mash Rye Whiskey 2023

Hard Truth Master Distiller’s Reserve Malted Rye Sweet Mash Rye Whiskey (RW-6) is a remarkable expression of 100 percent rye whiskey, showcasing the incredible depth and richness that can only come from the malting process.

This, and the other two whiskeys in the 2023 Hard Truth Master Distiller’s Reserve collection, are the second release of an extremely limited, annual selection of sweet mash whiskeys that have been handcrafted, aged, custom-blended, and bottled by the distillers at Hard Truth.
