Bardstown Bourbon Collaborative Series Amrut Straight Rye Whiskey

Bardstown Bourbon Company, renowned for its innovative collaborations, has partnered with India's Amrut Distilleries to create a unique expression: the Bardstown Bourbon Collaborative Series Amrut Straight Rye Whiskey. This limited-edition release showcases the fusion of American and Indian whisky-making traditions, resulting in a complex and flavorful spirit.

Blend Composition:

This expression is a meticulously crafted blend of five distinct whiskies:

• 43%: 9-year-old Indiana straight rye whiskey (51% rye, 45% corn, 4% malted barley)

• 20%: 8-year-old Indiana straight rye whiskey (95% rye, 5% malted barley)

• 17%: 14-year-old Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey (75% corn, 13% rye, 12% malted barley)

• 15%: 10-year-old Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey (78% corn, 10% rye, 12% malted barley)

• 5%: 11-year-old Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey (78% corn, 13% rye, 9% malted barley)

The rye components were finished for 18 months in Amrut Indian single malt whisky barrels, imparting unique flavors and complexity to the final blend.

Tasting Notes:

• Aroma: Inviting scents of baked cherry, campfire, and vanilla, complemented by hints of cinnamon and herbal tea.

• Palate: Rich flavors of ginger and malt unfold, leading to a wonderfully complex and lasting finish.

• Finish: Long and warming, with lingering notes of spice and oak, trailing with vanilla and a subtle nuttiness.

This expression has garnered critical acclaim, earning a double gold medal at the 2024 San Francisco Wine & Spirits Competition and being named Whisky Advocate's #4 Most Exciting Whiskies of the Year.
