Introducing BHAKTA 2013 Bourbon: A Fusion of American Mastery and French Heritage. This exceptional bourbon embodies the union of American craftsmanship and French tradition, marking a celebration of intertwined legacies. Crafted in the heartland of America, this intricately blended 99% Corn Bourbon underwent a unique transformation, maturing in French Oak barrels sourced from the esteemed Château BHAKTA. These barrels, renowned for their rich history, once cradled ancient Armagnac Vintages dating back to 1868. Released at nearly a decade old, BHAKTA 2013 Bourbon symbolizes the enduring bond between America and its longstanding ally, France.

The pure distillation of the year 1973 

Exquisitely complex and astoundingly aged, BHAKTA 1973 Armagnac is our 50 Year, Golden Anniversary Armagnac vintage. A landmark year at every level—
 and a pure distillation of the spirit of celebration — this vintage shows a nose of baked apple, old books cinnamon, and leather, followed by nutmeg and macerated raisins on the palate. In history, 1973 was defined by the opening of the World Trade Center, the sale of the New York Yankees to George Steinbrenner, and the departure of the last American soldier from Vietnam.

Nose: Stewed ripe fruits with brown sugar

Palate: Cinnamon, nutmeg, and white pepper

Finish: Pleasant long finish with notes of oak
