Master Distiller Bryan Smith selected just 23 barrels for this release, drawing on two complementary sweet mash bourbons — the flagship BW-1 straight bourbon (73% corn, 19% rye, 8% malted barley) and the all-Indiana grain BW-5 (82% corn, 18% rye) — each aged in custom-toasted American oak before being finished in toasted French oak casks. \u003cbr\u003eA final mellowing step returned the bourbon to its original casks, allowing the French oak character to integrate more deeply into every layer of the whiskey. The result is a complex, velvety bourbon that showcases the elegance of grain-to-glass craftsmanship at its finest.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hard Truth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52027135164717,"sku":"850067163275","price":64.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0851\/0272\/3373\/files\/hard-truth-barrel-finish-reserve-straight-bourbon-finished-on-french-oak-1061-proof-750ml-4337399.jpg?v=1777496892","url":"https:\/\/www.hiproof.com\/products\/hard-truth-french-oak-106-1-proof-750ml-copy","provider":"Hi Proof","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
