Distillery Information

Hard Truth Distilling Co., based in Indiana, is known for experimenting with production techniques such as sweet mash fermentation, where fresh mash is used for each batch instead of recycling a portion of previous distillation. This method can produce a cleaner and more defined grain character. The bottled-in-bond designation ensures the whiskey meets strict U.S. standards, including minimum aging and proof requirements. The Mellencamp limited edition highlights both traditional regulation and modern branding, combining classic bourbon structure with a contemporary collaborative release.
