About us
Hard Truth Distilling Co. is currently the largest sweet mash distillery in the state of Indiana, with a state-of-the-art facility housed on 325 wooded acres in the artists' colony of Brown County. Founded in 2015, Hard Truth joined the BWQOHT, Inc. family of brands, following Quaff ON! Brewing Co. (2012), and Big Woods Restaurant Group (2009). Hard Truth's campus includes not only the distillery and its rackhouse, but also a tours and tastings center, a full-service restaurant, an expansive outdoor terrace area with a stage, bar, and food truck, and more. Hard Truth is among the handful of distilleries in the U.S. practicing the art of sweet mash — a distilling method that begins each batch of whiskey with entirely new ingredients, as opposed to sour mash's incorporation of spent grain from previous batches into new. Current distribution includes 20+ states, with more regularly coming online. Products include: Hard Truth Sweet Mash Rye Whiskey, Hard Truth Master Distiller's Reserve Sweet Mash whiskeys, Hard Truth Origin Series Kentucky Sweet Mash whiskeys, Hard Truth Original Vodka, Hard Truth Cinnamon Vodka, Hard Truth White Rum, Hard Truth Toasted Coconut Rum, Hard Truth Toasted Coconut Rum Cream, Hard Truth Gin, Hard Truth Peanut Butter Whiskey, Hard Truth Peanut Brittle Bourbon Cream, Hard Truth Maple Bourbon Cream, the Sipes' family of whiskeys, the Schoonover family of whiskeys, Hard Truth Indiana Straight Rye Whiskey and McCabe's Irish Whiskey.

When we chose to pioneer our own path, we made the decision to put the quality of our whiskey above everything else. We chose Sweet Mash because we knew we could make award-winning whiskeys from grain-to-glass. After years of waiting, today marks a new Moment of Truth for us — winning top marks from two of the largest whiskey competitions in the world. A congratulations is in order to Master Distiller Bryan Smith and our full production team for their diligence and hard work through five years of whiskey making at Hard Truth!

Grounded in Truth — created to celebrate and show appreciation for the small, independent, and heritage farmers who provide the carefully cultivated, quality grains that lay the foundation for Hard Truth’s spirits. Under its Grounded in Truth banner, the distillery will be supporting agriculturally focused not-for-profit organizations, including Farm Aid, that provide valuable resources for and support for family farmers.
