BHAKTA 1996 Armagnac

BHAKTA 1996 Armagnac

The pure distillation of the year 1996 

BHAKTA 1996 shows sweet candy, ripe fruit, flowers, and menthol on the nose, followed by a powerfully complex palate of nutmeg, oak, and old library books. In history, 1996 was defined by Tiger Woods’ professional golf debut, the release of dance song sensation the “Macarena,” and the defeat of IBM supercomputer Deep Blue at the hands of Chessmaster Gary Kasparov.

BHAKTA 1996 Armagnac
The BHAKTA Spirits Vintage Library

Offering single vintages of Armagnac reaching back through nearly every year since 1868. Each year captures and expresses the unique climate conditions, the technique of different distillers, and the compounding intricacies of time spent in both wood and glass.

The Finest Stocks

All of our Single Vintage Armagnacs come from Chateau BHAKTA in Condom, France

After a harvest from the vineyards in the Armagnac region and distillation in wood-fired alembic stills, the long aging process in French Oak barrels begins.

Our cellarmaster, Bernard, who has tended the Chateau’s stocks for over 50 years, ensures each vintage is aged to perfection.

How to drink it

“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.”
