Hard Truth made waves early with their ryeā¦ and now itās time for bourbon!
Iām fascinated that this bourbon initially feels thin when it hits my tongueā¦ and then two seconds later, it explodes into a bold and thick finish.Ā Iām not sure Iāve ever quite experienced this particular sensation.Ā Itās quite enjoyable.
If you didnāt have the bottle specs, youād never dream this had 2 year old bourbon in it.
At MSRP of $40ā¦ this is a delicious neat sipper thatāll also make some excellent cocktails.
