Bardstown, KY – May 13, 2024 – Bardstown Bourbon Company is proud to announce the continuation of its award-winning Collaborative Series, set to redefine possibilities in 2024 by partnering with trailblazers in the whisky, wine, and beer categories.
The highlight of this year’s Collaborative Series is the groundbreaking union with Amrut Distillery, renowned for pioneering Indian single malts. This partnership marks a historic first for American whiskey, as the Bardstown Bourbon Company collaborates with Amrut to introduce a unique finish to its signature bourbon.
The Amrut Collaborative Series brings together the rich tradition of single malt whisky with the robust flavors of long-aged Indiana ryes and Kentucky bourbons. Through a meticulous process, two straight rye whiskeys are aged in Amrut Indian Single Malt barrels for 18 months before being blended with premium aged Kentucky straight bourbons. The result is a distinct flavor profile that harmoniously blends cultural influences and traditions.
Characterized by notes of baked cherry, campfire, and vanilla, complemented by hints of cinnamon and herbal tea, the Amrut Collaborative Series offers a palate of ginger and malt, culminating in a complex and enduring finish. Presented at 110 proof (55 percent ABV) and priced at $159.99, this limited-edition whiskey promises a singular tasting experience for enthusiasts.
The interplay between the peated and unpeated Amrut barrels with our rye blend resulted in a depth of flavor that’s truly unparalleled. The addition of a custom bourbon blend further enhances the complexity, creating an authentic collaboration bursting with new flavors.

These partnerships reflect Bardstown Bourbon Co.’s commitment to innovation, tradition, and collaboration in the pursuit of exceptional whiskey.
