Hard Truth Double Oaked Sweet Mash 106.1 Proof 750mL is a bold, full-flavored bourbon crafted using a sweet mash fermentation process and finished in a second oak barrel for added depth and complexity. Bottled at 106.1 proof (53.05% ABV), this expression delivers rich caramel sweetness, layered oak influence, and a smooth yet structured finish.

The sweet mash process—using fresh fermentation rather than sour mash backset—creates a cleaner, more vibrant grain profile, while the double oak maturation enhances richness and texture.
