Coming to us from Indiana's Hard Truth Distilling Co., this is one of four whiskeys released in late 2023 as part of the Barrel Finished Reserve Collection. A blend of two barrels, this whiskey is distilled from a mashbill of 94% rye and 6% malted barley, finished in Pedro Ximénez brandy casks and bottled at 114 proof.

Sweet and raisin-heavy on the nose. Quite heavy on the raisin character, honey, toffee and cocoa.
Sweet on the palate once more. There's a noticeable uptick in maple sweetness, sweet pipe tobacco and raisin notes. It’s rich, powerful, lovely.
Long finish, heavy on the raisin once more with notes of brioche, toffee, honey and pepper.
The most unique of the Barrel Finish releases, the PX brandy imparts a ton of raisin character — something I love but not everyone may feel the same about.
