BHAKTA Vintages are time in a bottle—and each year tells its own story. We recommend enjoying ancient vintages neat. Serve in a tulip glass for optimal aromatics. Vintages younger than half a century may be enjoyed neat or on the rocks, using a globe of ice or no more than two cubes of pure ice. Consume with patience so as to allow the aromas and flavors to evolve; taste with attention to reveal the secrets of each year. Commune with The Spirit of Time.

The pure distillation of the year 1978
BHAKTA 1978 shows a nose of blackcurrant, toasted bread, roasted meat, and figs, followed by a mellow palate of caramel, nuts, and prunes packed with spices. In history, 1978 saw the release of Animal House, the opening of the first Home Depot (and Atlantic City’s first casino as well), and the introduction of Coors Light, Cabbage Patch Kids, and Reese’s Pieces.

The BHAKTA Spirits Vintage Library
“In this vintage paradigm, every release is special, limited in quantity — there’s only so much of any given spirit made in any given year.”
“You don’t have to love brandy to love this. . . Terrific sipping and thus an epic preview of things to come from the nascent producer.”
