Hard Truth 113 Sweet Mash Rye Whiskey 750ml
Hard Truth’s 113 Entry Proof Rye presents itself as a bold yet refined expression of the distillery’s sweet‑mash approach. The lower entry proof—113 rather than the more common 120+—allows the spirit to extract deeper grain character and richer barrel influence without becoming overly tannic. The result is a rye that leans into warmth and structure while still showcasing the bright, fruit‑forward personality Hard Truth is known for. It feels intentionally crafted, with a balance that suggests both patience and precision in the barrel.
Tasting Notes
The tasting experience opens with ripe stone fruit, orange oil, and a gentle floral lift before shifting into classic rye spice—clove, cracked pepper, and cinnamon bark. Mid‑palate, the sweetness broadens into honeycomb and toasted grain, supported by a rounded oak presence that never overwhelms. The finish is long and steady, carrying notes of vanilla bean, baking spice, and a lingering herbal freshness. It’s a rye that manages to be expressive without being aggressive, offering depth, clarity, and a satisfying sense of completeness.
