Hard Truth Distilling Co.’s American Odd Bourbon is a bold celebration of Indiana craftsmanship and heritage. Born from 100% Indiana grains, this limited-edition, bottled-in-bond bourbon blends 82% corn from Rushville with 18% rye from Evansville, matured for four years in a carefully designed char and toast barrel system that elevates every sip. The result is a tawny-hued spirit that’s as visually inviting as it is flavorful.
On the nose, lush caramel, clove, and ripe red peach mingle with a soft custard note, promising the richness to come. The palate explodes with bright cherry, warming coffee cake, bold spice, and a hint of vanilla frosting, while the finish lingers with dark sweet cherry, tobacco, cracked black pepper, and gentle oak. Each bottle is a tribute to Indiana’s small and independent farmers, with a portion of sales supporting sustainable farming initiatives through the Grounded in Truth program.
American Odd is best savored neat or over a single large ice cube, allowing the complexity of its cherry, spice, and oak layers to unfold. Perfect for collectors and bourbon enthusiasts alike, it’s a rare, expressive spirit that carries the story of its origin in every sip, combining artistry, community, and a distinctly Midwestern character.
