Hard Truth Indiana Straight Rye Whiskey (100 Proof, 4 Years Old)
100 proof 4 years Rye Hard Truth Distillery Nashville, IN $42

Almonds and Christmas potpourri with a fresh spring quality reminiscent of dandelions and chicory. A subtle green note without excessive ethanol burn. Sugary sweetness like opening a bag of Skittles.

Very sweet with candied almonds, green tea, and lemonade notes creating an Arnold Palmer-like quality. Deep sweetness that saturates the center of the palate. Sweet corn cob character. A touch of sweet chili spice on the second sip. Sweet tart flavors with tartness along the sides of the tongue.

Medium finish that hugs the sides of the mouth and tongue without chest heat. Skips past the front and saturates the palate's center. Clean and relatively short.

Satisfying
A very sweet Indiana rye that works well as a spring and summer sipper, potentially suitable for breakfast cocktails despite being a rye, with good value at the price point.
