It’s the one we’ve been waiting for the longest, and now, it’s here — Bourbon, authentically made from grain-to-glass by Hard Truth in Brown County, Indiana.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNothing, from start to finish, was left to chance. From high-quality Indiana grains, our continuous column still custom-made by Vendome Copper \u0026amp; Brass Works, and barrels specifically produced for each unique mash bill — every step of our bourbon-making process was pioneered by Master Distiller Bryan Smith to bring you a whiskey unlike any other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhy sweet mash?\u003cbr\u003eEvery batch of Hard Truth Sweet Mash Whiskey begins with entirely fresh ingredients, known as the sweet mash process. Where sour mash reuses a portion of each previous batch, it also mutes some of the flavor. By using sweet mash, we’re able to highlight the complexity and pleasant flavors from our grains and reach the peak flavor in our new, charred American oak barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e90 Proof\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan class=\"EOP SCXW166694593\" data-ccp-props='{\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":259}'\u003eTHE DISTILLERY\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHard Truth Distilling Co.\u003cbr\u003eHard Truth Distilling Co. began distilling in 2015 in the small upper rooms of Big Woods Pizza Co. in downtown Nashville, Indiana.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tiny craft distillery quickly grew, and, by 2017, construction had begun on a new facility set on a rolling, wooded, 325-acre property about a mile away from Hard Truth’s original home.\u003cbr\u003eThat property became the gorgeous Hard Truth campus, with the Hard Truth Tours \u0026amp; Tastings Center being the first building to open its doors to guests at the very end of 2017.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe following summer, the Restaurant at Hard Truth opened to hungry guests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd, in the fall of 2018, Hard Truth Distilling Co. made the move to its brand new, state-of-the-art, sweet mash distillery, where it’s been producing Hard Truth spirits ever since.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver the past few years, our teams have continued to develop the property that surrounds the Hard Truth distillery with new tours and activities, festivals, and a major expansion at Hard Truth on the Rocks — a terraced, outdoor area with a stage for live music, food truck, and bar that operate seasonally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Hard Truth distilling team continues to work diligently, crafting a range of premium spirits, including popular crowd-pleasers like Maple Bourbon Cream and Hard Truth Toasted Coconut Rum and, of course, remarkable sweet mash whiskeys — the first of which, Hard Truth Sweet Mash Rye Whiskey, was released in November 2021.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHard Truth Distilling Co. is part of the BWQOHT, Inc. family of brands, which also includes Big Woods Restaurants and Quaff ON!
