Hard Truth Cinnamon Vodka is a craft flavored vodka from Hard Truth Distilling Co. in Brown County, Indiana, infused with two sources of natural cinnamon and lightly sweetened with pure cane sugar, bottled at 60 proof (30% ABV).
Hard Truth Distilling Co. sits on 325 acres in Southern Indiana, near Nashville in Brown County, and is known for its sweet mash bourbons and ryes as well as a playful line of flavored spirits. Its Cinnamon Vodka won a Bronze medal at the 2019 American Distilling Institute Craft Spirits Awards.
The spirit starts from high quality vodka and is infused with two sources of natural cinnamon, then lightly sweetened with pure cane sugar. The result is a pure amber spirit that sips more like a liqueur than a typical cinnamon shot: slightly sweet, with a clean finish and true cinnamon flavor.
Expect sweet cinnamon bark on the nose. The palate has a rich mouthfeel with honeycomb sweetness and dark baking spice, and the finish lingers with orange blossom, cinnamon and a gentle touch of heat.
Hard Truth suggests three easy ways to enjoy it: as a shot straight from the freezer, stirred into homemade hot chocolate, or cut half and half with cranberry juice over ice. It is also lovely in hot apple cider, a cinnamon Mule with ginger beer and lime, or a splash of eggnog during the holidays. Pour it over vanilla ice cream, or add it to coffee with a little whipped cream for an easy dessert drink. Pair it with apple pie, cinnamon rolls, pumpkin bread or a cheese board with aged cheddar. The handsome bottle, with its copper-still illustration and Hand Crafted in Brown County, Indiana on the label, makes it a cozy gift for the fall and winter season.
