PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
750 ml, 55% ABV (110 Proof), this is a straight rye whiskey finished in Amrut Indian Malt barrels an blended with a straight Bourbon Whiskey
"Take two straight rye whiskeys from Indiana, one an 8 year old 95% rye, the other a 9 year old 51% rye, and finish them for 18 months in Amrut Indian single malt casks. Blend this with three Kentucky straight bourbons aged 10–14 years, and you have a vibrant blend of American whiskeys with aromas of roasted corn, nutmeg, allspice, and toasted oak, with chocolate chip, root beer, leather, and black cherry bubble gum. Sugared almonds, red berries, baking spices, ground pepper, and cinnamon segue into fruit tea, Red Vines, and herbal notes, with a mouth-filling finish of milk chocolate, malt, and oak char." —Jonny McCormick for Whisky Advocate, 94 Points

TASTING NOTES
Baked cherry, campfire, and vanilla are enveloped by cinnamon and herbal tea. On the palate, waves of ginger and malt lead to a wonderfully complex, lasting finish.
From Fred Minnick: "Bardstown Bourbon Company’s Collaborative Series is partnering with category innovators in whisky, wine and beer. Three bespoke Collaborative Series whiskeys will be released this year, beginning with a union with Amrut Distillery, pioneer of Indian single malts, marking a first-of-its-kind finish for American whiskey.
The Amrut Collaborative Series brings together the tradition of single malt with the robust palates of long-aged Indiana ryes and Kentucky bourbons. Two straight rye whiskeys aged in Amrut Indian Single Malt barrels for 18 months. The resulting liquid was carefully blended with premium aged Kentucky straight bourbons to create a distinct flavor profile that bridges cultures and traditions to create something singular.
The whiskeys range from 8 to 14 years aged with five different mashbills.
Amrut Collaborative Series is presented at 110 proof (55 percent ABV) and is offered in limited quantities at a suggested retail price of $159.99.[$155 at Blackwell's]
“Amrut is creating some beautiful liquid right now. Their use of malted barley, distilled and aged in a warm, humid climate is such an interesting bridge between Scottish whisky and bourbon,” Dan Callaway, VP of Product Development, responsible for the final flavor profile of all Bardstown Bourbon Co. products, said in a news release.
“It’s fascinating to see how our rye blend absorbed characteristics of both the peated and unpeated Amrut barrels, resulting in a unique depth of flavor and character. We then created a custom bourbon blend to join the finished rye and bring red fruit and rich caramel. The result is an authentic collaboration bursting with new flavors.”
This partnership with the Amrut Distillery, trailblazers of authentic Indian single malt whisky, showcases imagination, creativity, and the power of global connection. The largest and most well-known brand, no Indian single malt has been more influential than Amrut, which launched an entire category that today represents more than half of the top 10 brands globally."
