Founded in 2015, the Hard Truth classic distillery sits in the beautifully rural area of Nashville, Indiana. They’re on a mission to bring premium spirits to life while supporting small, independent farmers in the U.S.
Their specialty is sweet mash whiskies and bourbons, as well as a wide range of other premium spirits, including vodka, rum, cognac, and rye. The label has won numerous awards for nearly every bottle, including Double Platinum from the ASCOT awards (2024), Gold (95 points) from the New York International Spirits Competition, and Fred Minnick Top-50 Whiskey of the Year (2023), with a host of other accolades in the trophy case.
Meet Toasted Coconut Rum Cream
The Toasted Coconut Rum Cream is a spin on the original Toasted Coconut Rum with a creamy, silky profile. The island vibes are strong with warm and balanced aromas of caramel, coconut, and sweet cream, and distinct flavors of toasted coconut.
The cream component comes from fresh Wisconsin dairy cream for a luxuriously creamy body. This decadent rum was awarded a top Wine Enthusiast rating (91) and Wine Enthusiast Top 100 Spirits of 2022. And it tastes like it was well-earned.
Toasted Coconut Rum Cream Cocktails
