Barrel 29 "De Gaulle"

Each barrel of BHAKTA 50 is named for an iconic character whose deeds echo through time.

The 29th barrel is named for Charles de Gaulle rose to prominence in WWII when he refused to accept the French government’s truce with Germany, exiling himself in London. From there, he created a new government for his home country. He resigned, only to be tapped again in 1958 when he became president of the French Fifth Republic. His nationalist approach earned him a second term as president in 1965. A tenacious statesman, de Gaulle had strong beliefs that he abided by in all his actions.
