Hard Truth Sweet Mash Straight Bourbon Review

Hard Truth Sweet Mash Straight Bourbon Review


Small batch of 30 or fewer barrels


Age: at least 2 years


Mashbill: 73% corn, 19% rye, 8% malted barley


Bottling proof: 90


Non-chill filtered


Still manufacturer: Vendome


MSRP: $39.99


Nose šŸ‘ƒ: Toffee. Raisin. Vanilla. Red apple. Rye spice. Barrel char.


Palate šŸ‘…: Toffee. Plum. Burnt brown sugar. Vanilla custard. Barrel char. Rye spice.Ā  Initial thin mouthfeelā€¦ then suddenly thick


Finish šŸ: Cloves. Toffee. Espresso. Vanilla custard.Ā  Oak. Rye spice. Medium-long in length. Extremely bold finish.


Hard Truth made waves early with their ryeā€¦ and now itā€™s time for bourbon!


Iā€™m 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  Iā€™m not sure Iā€™ve ever quite experienced this particular sensation.Ā  Itā€™s quite enjoyable.


If you didnā€™t have the bottle specs, youā€™d never dream this had 2 year old bourbon in it.


At MSRP of $40ā€¦ this is a delicious neat sipper thatā€™ll also make some excellent cocktails.
