Embarking on a spirited journey, Hard Truth Sweet Mash Bourbon is not merely a whiskey; it is a bold declaration of craftsmanship and innovation. From the verdant fields of Indiana to your glass, every element of this bourbon reflects a meticulous dedication to quality. Master Distiller Bryan Smith has orchestrated a symphony of flavors, utilizing a sweet mash process that eschews the traditional sour mash method. This approach allows for a fresh start with each batch, ensuring that no lingering notes from previous distillations muddy the waters, but instead, celebrate the vibrant character of the grains.
The result is a bourbon that tantalizes the palate with the rich essence of toasted marshmallows, dark chocolate, and a luscious custard backdrop. The careful selection of high-quality grains combined with the custom-made Vendome Copper & Brass Works still brings forth a spirit that is robust yet nuanced. The aging in charred American oak barrels further enhances its complexity, producing a delightful interplay of flavors that dance on the tongue, culminating in a finish that balances mocha and shortbread with a playful flourish of black pepper and maple.
