Nobody has ever accused Bardstown Bourbon Company of coloring within the lines. The distillery announced three new rounds of its Collaborative Series whiskey that will forge partnerships with leaders in the world of whiskey, wine, and beer.
First up is the Amrut Collaborative Series, partnering with Amrut Distillery and its distinctive Indian single malt whiskeys.
Bardstown Bourbon Company Amrut Collaborative Series
ABV: 55%
Tasting Notes (from the distillery): 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.
SRP: $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. 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 summer, Bardstown Bourbon Co. will offer a new collaboration with Silver Oak, the wine folks who have been putting Cabernet Sauvignon in American Oak barrels for more than half a century.
Come fall, it’s beer time. That’s when Bardstown Bourbon Co. will team up with Blackberry Farm Brewery for a third collaborative effort.
