Hard Truth Double Oaked Sweet Mash Rye Whiskey

Tasting Notes

Hard Truth's Double Oaked Sweet Mash Rye is a bold experiment, aging their signature rye in two separate sets of new, charred oak barrels for over five years. The result is a potent whiskey that throws a flurry of baking spices, especially raw cinnamon, right at your nose, followed by roasted rye and a hint of hot apple cider. Dark brown sugar leads the palate, morphing into cinnamon raisin and toasted rye bread. The finish is where the rye spice really kicks in, backed by black pepper and noticeable charred oak. While the double oaking brings intense flavors, it also mutes some of the rye's subtler nuances, leaving a slightly dry finish. It's a powerful, oak-driven rye that's sure to grab your attention.
