A brief finish in a Scotch Islay cask makes it one of the most unique spirits collectibles you will find anywhere. Sampling this astounding array of historic vintages involves a journey across the twists and turns of time—and offers a unique glimpse into the mind of our founder, Raj Peter Bhakta.

Barrel 28 "Rasputin"

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

The 28th barrel honors Grigori Rasputin. Rasputin, meaning dissolute, was the surname adopted by Grigori Novykh. Rasputin fully embodied his new name as a famed libertine, spiritual leader, and advisor to the Romanovs. His death was as fantastical as his life – he purportedly survived being poisoned and shot twice before succumbing to a gunshot to the head. The Bolshevik Revolution followed his assassination, which was no coincidence.
