The Hard Truth Master Distiller’s Reserve collection is an extremely limited, annual release of sweet mash whiskeys that have been handcrafted, aged, custom-blended, and bottled by the distillers at Hard Truth.

The 2022 Master Distiller’s Reserve release includes three rye whiskey mash bills that embody Hard Truth’s dedication to innovation and bringing new flavors to the whiskey world — a chocolate malt (RW-3), a caramel malt (RW-4), and a malted rye (RW-6).

Each of these barrel-strength whiskeys is a unique blend of eight to 10 barrels hand-picked from the Hard Truth rackhouse and conscientiously blended for rich flavor, pleasant complexity, and a rewarding drinking experience.

These three whiskeys are the first in Hard Truth’s once-yearly release of special sweet mash offerings in the Master Distiller’s Reserve collection.

Hard Truth Peanut Brittle Bourbon Cream is a rich blend of Hard Truth’s Indiana-crafted straight bourbon whiskey, real Wisconsin dairy cream, and natural peanut flavor.

Best served chilled or over ice, Hard Truth Peanut Brittle Cream also adds a sweet, peanut twist to classic cream cocktails like a White Russian or dessert martini.
