Review: Hard Truth Peanut Brittle Bourbon Cream
Hard Truth announced the release of Hard Truth Peanut Brittle Bourbon Cream October 21, 2022 on Facebook. Initially only sold at the Hard Truth Distillery in Brown County Indiana, it is now available in the 18 states Hard Truth is distributed. Hard Truth currently crafts 20 spirits including rye, vodka, gin, rum, bourbon, with three spirits made with fresh Wisconsin Dairy cream. The other two are Toasted Coconut Cream, and Maple Bourbon Cream. HT Peanut Brittle Bourbon Cream is made with Indiana Straight Bourbon Whiskey, Real Wisconsin Dairy Cream, and natural peanut flavor. It weighs in at 30 proof, slightly less than the 34 proof Baileys tips the scale at. It pours to a milky beige color. The aroma leads with roasted peanuts. Additional time brings out toffee, vanilla, coffee, and butter pecan ice cream. The sweet bourbon and fresh cream entry has a rich luxurious mouth feel. Brown sugar, toffee, and roasted peanuts join, followed by maple syrup building to a toffee and peanut whipped cream pie peak. It fades with marshmallow and vanilla pudding and finishes with heavy whipped cream, caramel whiskey tones, oak, brown sugar, and peanut taste.
