Hard Truth Small Batch Sweet Mash Bourbon

Indiana Straight Bourbon Whiskey | 45% ABV (90 Proof) | 750 mL | Small Batch (30 barrels or fewer) | Mash Bill: 73% Corn, 19% Rye, 8% Malted Barley

Process & Profile

Hard Truth Small Batch Sweet Mash Bourbon is a grain-to-glass Indiana bourbon made using a true sweet mash process, meaning each distillation starts with entirely fresh ingredients rather than carrying over “backset” from a prior run. The result is a bourbon built to highlight clean grain character and a bright, dessert-leaning sweetness, then rounded out with oak warmth.

Bottled at 90 proof and produced in small batches of 30 barrels or fewer, this is an easy-drinking bourbon with enough structure for neat pours, but also a strong “house bourbon” option for classic cocktails.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Caramel, pecan, clove, fruit, and oak

• Palate: Toffee, caramel, cherry, and sweet cream

• Finish: Warming coffee, vanilla, and oak that linger

What Makes It Special

• Made with a sweet mash process for a clean, grain-forward bourbon profile

• Small batch (30 barrels or fewer) for consistent quality and a more curated blend

• Bottled at 90 proof for a smooth sip with solid cocktail performance

• Mash bill leans classic with a rye backbone for gentle spice: 73/19/8

• Great fit for customers who want a richer, dessert-leaning bourbon without going barrel proof

How to Enjoy

Sip it neat for the caramel-and-cherry profile, or pour over one large cube to soften the spice and pull forward more sweet cream and vanilla. In cocktails, it shines in an Old Fashioned, Whiskey Sour, or simple Bourbon & Ginger where the toffee-caramel notes stay front and center.
