Hard Truth Sweet Mash Rye Whiskey Batch 5
116.6 proof 3 years Rye Hard Truth Distilling Company Nashville, IN $70 94% rye, 6% malted barley

Fruity and floral with prominent spice notes. Spiced apples with dark red candy notes. Pine forest undertones with peach-like fruit character. Cinnamon spice that's deep and complex.

Spicy but also fruity with candy sweetness. Spiced apple notes, dark licorice in the background, raisin and anise reminiscent of cinnamon bread. Medium viscosity for the proof. Tingly spice on the tongue with honey character and a slight hot honey quality.

Medium-length, sticky sweet finish with honey tea qualities. Lingering sweetness on the palate that stays with you. Spicy warmth rising in the throat with a pleasant hug.

Noteworthy
A well-crafted craft rye whiskey with appealing candy-forward notes balanced by rye spice, drinking noticeably older than its three years and offering exceptional quality for its price point.
