Hard Truth Distillery Releases Oldest Whiskeys at Seven Years
Hard Truth Distilling Co., located in Nashville, Indiana, has introduced its oldest whiskeys to date, all aged seven years. This craft distillery, which has been in operation for just over ten years, employs a sweet mash technique. The new offerings feature a straight bourbon (73% corn, 19% rye, 8% malted barley, 112.3 proof), a wheated bourbon (69% corn, 19% wheat, 12% malted barley, 116.1 proof), and a rye (94% rye, 6% malted barley, 107 proof). Master distiller Bryan Smith highlighted the importance of a seven-year aging process for a grain-to-glass producer. Furthermore, Hard Truth has launched two cask-finished options in its 2026 Barrel Finish Reserve series: French Oak Finished Bourbon and Mizunara Finished Wheated Bourbon, available at liquor retailers and online platforms like ReserveBar.
