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 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.

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.”
