BHAKTA Single Vintage Armagnac
The BHAKTA Spirits Vintage Library offers 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. BHAKTA Armagnac grows in complexity and nuance the longer it is aged. BHAKTA Vintages represent the pinnacle of the Armagnac category – no other producer can boast the same depth and variety.

The Last Bastion of Craft
You could say that Armagnac is the last truly craft spirit known to man—the elegant, alchemical product of alembic stills which were patented and perfected in 1818.
The heir to more than 700 years of tradition, Armagnac’s first mention in the historical record dates to 1310, when Cardinal Vital Dufour extolled brandy’s many virtues—namely that it “enlivens the spirit,” “recalls the past to memory,” “renders men joyous, and “preserves youth and delays senility.”

The Year 1989
The Iron Curtain is under siege as world order shifts in the direction of American leadership. Chinese students begin demonstrating in Tiananmen square. In Czechoslovakia, the Velvet Revolution marks a nonviolent overthrow of Communism—and an end to 41 years of one-party rule. The Soviet Union pulls troops out of Afghanistan after a long-running and ill-fated war. Oliver North is convicted of charges related to the Iran-Contra scandal; General Colin Powell becomes the first African-American Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Luxury car brands Lexus and Infiniti launch. Ninendo releases its first Gameboy. Foreshadowing a future of digital interconnectivity, the first commercial Internet service providers begin offering service to the public.

TASTING NOTES
HOW TO DRINK IT

NEAT OR ON THE ROCKS
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.
BHAKTA 50 is no ordinary spirit—and extraordinary spirits stand alone. To enjoy neat, serve between 38° and 48° F in a tulip glass; on the rocks, use a globe of ice, or no more than two cubes of pure ice. Take a moment to appreciate BHAKTA 50’s exquisite aromas, complex flavor profile, and smoky notes born of its Islay finish. Pour for friends. Ponder The Spirit of Time.
