Hard Truth Sweet Mash Wheated Bourbon

Country: USA

Region: Indiana

Type: Bourbon

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 50%

Score: 93 Points

Hard Truth Distilling in Nashville, Indiana, has a sweet tooth when it comes to mashing, routinely using sweet mash fermentation instead of the more common sour mash style. This Bottled in Bond wheated Bourbon is an example, with a light and delicate nose of dried flowers, honey, peaches, and vanilla. The taste is sweet and chewy with a good spicy kick of black pepper, clove, and allspice that lingers nicely through the long finish. Very nice! (April, 2024)
