Exquisitely complex and astoundingly aged, BHAKTA 1973 Armagnac is our 50 Year, Golden Anniversary Armagnac vintage. A landmark year at every level— and a pure distillation of the spirit of celebration — this vintage shows a nose of baked apple, old books cinnamon, and leather, followed by nutmeg and macerated raisins on the palate. In history, 1973 was defined by the opening of the World Trade Center, the sale of the New York Yankees to George Steinbrenner, and the departure of the last American soldier from Vietnam.
After igniting the rye revival of the ‘00s and ‘10s through the iconic success of WhistlePig Whiskey, BHAKTA Founder Raj Peter Bhakta has returned to the spirit which won him acclaim. . . ready to revive and reimagine rye, all over again. The distillate of one distinct American vintage, this bold, brash, and spicy 95% rye earned the right to a secondary finish in Calvados casks chosen from Château BHAKTA’s most noble stocks.
