Bardstown Bourbon Co. Amrut Collaborative Series review

Tasting Notes

About:

A straight rye whiskey finished in Amrut Indian malt whisky barrels blended with straight bourbon whiskey. It is bottled at 110 proof and priced at $159.99.
Appearance:
The whiskey in glass has a distinct reddish-amber glow, with thinner legs and moderate viscosity.
Nose:
When smelling this, there’s a nice cherry pie note on the front end, accompanied by some smoke essence. Other notes of consideration on the nose include toasted almonds, subtle hints of vanilla and oak, a dash of black pepper, warm bread, and black currant.
Palate:
Black cherry chocolate and a bit of coffee, supported by deep vanilla and coriander notes, emerge up front here on the palate. Accompanying these are considerations of rye bread, spicy BBQ sauce, a wisp of smoke, oak, and flan.
Finish:
The finish is decadent and complex, offering heat, a click of spice, and a brief sweetness before it fades out in a moderate amount of time.
Comments:
Bardstown Bourbon Co. Amrut Collaborative Series is a complex blend to pull off, particularly considering the Amrut Indian single malt cask finish component. And it pulls it off exceptionally well, so much so that you’ll surprise yourself with how the flavors of this roll on in your memory long after you’ve put the glass down.
