Tasting Notes
Hard Truth's Toasted French Oak Sweet Mash Rye from Indiana offers a unique take on rye. It's crafted using a sweet mash process, meaning fresh ingredients every time, and finished in toasted French oak, a less common choice for rye. Expect a gentle nose of vanilla, toasted bread, and caramelized peaches. The palate starts subtly, with notes of peaches and cream, then builds to cinnamon and clove, finishing with vanilla sweetness and lingering rye spice. Some find it a bit quiet, but others appreciate the fruit-forward character and the toasted oak's influence. It's a rye that emphasizes baking notes and integrated flavors, worth exploring if you're looking for something a little different.
