Hard Truth Peanut Butter Whiskey
Hard Truth Peanut Butter Whiskey is a rich, dessert‑leaning flavored whiskey crafted from Hard Truth’s original straight bourbon base and infused with natural peanut butter flavor. Bottled at 70 proof (35% ABV), it delivers a smooth, creamy, confection‑style profile with roasted peanut, vanilla, and caramel notes that make it ideal for cocktails, shots, and indulgent after‑dinner pours.
Unlike many peanut butter whiskeys that lean overly sweet, Hard Truth’s version maintains a warm whiskey backbone, balancing sweetness with depth and a lightly roasted finish. Its velvety texture and nostalgic flavor profile make it a versatile crowd‑pleaser—perfect for dessert cocktails, boozy milkshakes, or simple chilled pours.
