ABOUT HARD TRUTH INDIANA STRAIGHT RYE WHISKEY:

A unique, custom blend of rye barrels, Hard Truth Indiana Straight Rye Whiskey follows the federal requirements for rye whiskey — 51 percent rye in the grain bill, distilled at no greater than 160 proof, placed in a barrel at no more than 125 proof — then adds the Indiana-specific requirements that it be mashed, fermented, distilled, and then rested at least two years in the state of Indiana.
