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.
This unique whiskey leads with baked cherry, campfire, and
vanilla, enveloped by cinnamon and herbal tea. On the palate, waves
of ginger and malt lead to a wonderfully complex, lasting finish.
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.
“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," said
Dan Callaway, VP of Product Development, responsible for the final
flavor profile of all Bardstown Bourbon Co. products. "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.
Following strict Scotch regulations, Amrut is a classic single
malt, with bourbon and caramelized biscuit on the nose, a
bittersweet palate with oak, barley and blood orange that is both
buttery and delicate. The intricate finish leaves a trace of brown
sugar and cocoa. Amrut is currently available in 44 countries.
"There is a natural synergy in collaborating with Bardstown
Bourbon Co. as two industry innovators. Bardstown Bourbon Co. has
put out some astounding flavors over the years and the interplay
between these two traditions will certainly create some really
interesting whiskey,” said Ashok Chokalingam, Head of Distilling
and International Sales.

expressions have been aging wonderfully in our rickhouses and are
now ready to be enjoyed. From India to Napa Valley, we are ready to
celebrate these tremendous explorations and share them with the
world.”
Later this summer, Bardstown Bourbon Co. will release a
collaboration with Silver Oak, a more than 50-year tradition
of Cabernet Sauvignon aged exclusively in American Oak. Like
Bardstown Bourbon Co. Silver Oak vows that their best bottles are
ahead, never settling and always looking to improve and innovate.
Silver Oak remains one of the most sought-after brands in the
global wine industry.
This fall will bring a partnership with Blackberry Farm through
their internationally acclaimed brewery. Rustic, rooted and
refined, Blackberry Farm Brewery draws inspiration from
old-world tradition while reflecting the unique changing seasons
and culinary heritage of the South.
