Where Grain, Oak and Craft come together
True Harvest Bourbon Company Process
At True Harvest Bourbon Company, every bottle begins long before it reaches the rickhouse. It starts in the fields, with the grains that reflect the character and agriculture of our region. We select mash bills that honor both tradition and flavor- carefully choosing the profiles that become the heart of our four grain bourbon, our rye whiskey, and the mash bill behind our hand-selected single-barrel releases.
Great whiskey begins with great grains. Our four grain bourbon recipe is built to showcase the natural richness of corn, the structure of rye, the softness of wheat and the depth of malted barley. Each grain plays a role, and our process is shaped around letting those characteristics shine through the barrel.
Our rye whiskey mash bills are chosen to express the truest essence of rye- spice, herbal warmth, and that unmistakable rye-forward character- supported by just enough corn and malt to bring balance and finesse.
For our single barrel program, we intentionally match the mash bill to the barrel. Each selection is driven by how the chosen grains interact with the flavor of charred American white oak, allowing the barrel to elevate, not overpower, the grain.
Once distilled, our spirits rest in new, charred white oak barrels- each one contributing layers of vanilla, caramelized sugars, toasted spice, and gentle smoke. Over time, the flavors of the grains and the character of the wood come together to create something deeply expressive. We never rush this step; the barrel tells us when it is ready.
Blended With Care
Our four grain bourbon and rye whiskey are then blended with intention Each blend is a careful study in balance-bringing together barrels that complement each other while presenting the best of what bourbon and rye can be. The four grain bourbon is a limited release blend highlighting warm caramel, vanilla, and baking spices with a soft, round mouthfeel and a finish that lingers without overwhelming. The rye whiskey captures the true essence of rye- bold spice with a smooth texture, and easy-drinking profile, and layers of flavor that carry on long after the sip.
Proofed to Perfection
We proof rye whiskey to the point where flavor, texture, and balance meet Our goal is simple: let you experience everything Mother Nature expresses in her grains and in her wood, without the distraction or intimidation of excessive heat. Proofing is not a formula for us - it is a craft.
Bottled by Hand
When the whiskey is ready, we finish the way we started - by hand and with pride Every bottle is filled, labeled, and inspected by Becky and Jen. For single-barrel releases, each bottle is hand-written with its barrel name. It is our way of honoring the tradition, hard work, and craftsmanship poured into every release. No shortcuts, no automation - just authentic dedication to the spirit of whiskey.
