Hard Truth Schoonover Applewood Smoked Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Tasting Notes

Hard Truth's Schoonover Applewood Smoked Bourbon is a fascinating paradox. This 14-year-old Indiana bourbon, sourced from Tennessee, gets a smoky kiss from applewood-smoked barrels. Expect a dark amber pour and a complex dance of aromas: corn, vanilla, caramel, and a whiff of applewood. The palate delivers caramel, charred oak, and cherry, maybe even nougat. The finish is medium, with warm spices and oak, but some find an acetone note that clashes with the price. It's a wheated bourbon experiment, with highs and lows, so approach with curiosity.
