Barrel 22 “Patton” is named for legendary military leader George S. Patton, whose storied and controversial career in the armed services evokes the triumphant yet complex nature of BHAKTA 50. Crafted from eight different vintages—including 1944, the year General Patton took command of the Third Army during World War II—BHAKTA 50 “Patton” is an earthy blend of forest floor, orange zest, cloves, and pepper.

An astonishing blend of Islay-finished Armagnac crafted from eight rare vintages: 1868 – 1888 – 1934 – 1944 – 1956 – 1962 – 1967 – 1970 . With this barrel, we say cheers to the mavericks who make history.

The peerless taste of BHAKTA is recognizable in all, but connoisseurs will recognize the nuances and flavor variety in each barrel. You'll have to taste them all to find out...
