Description

Every BHAKTA bottle carries a year, not an age statement. This one was distilled from a single harvest in 1964, laid down in oak, and left to the slow work of Gascon cellars until it was ready, years later, to be bottled exactly as it came out of the cask.

Tasting Notes

Aspect Deep, rich orange color.

Nose Baskets of dried fruits, very ripe plums, overripe figs, windfall apples like Russets, dried apricots, demerara sugar, and maple syrup. A little licorice on the nose and tangy citrus zest. Bright and quite zesty.

Palate Strong attack with great vitality and oomph! Packs a punch, but not at all aggressive, just very enthusiastic and explosive with rich dried fruits and well-integrated tannins. Bold and rich are the best descriptives for this old Armagnac. Something to savor and reflect with. A sheer delight with a powerful and persistent finish with hints of toffee, spice, and PX Sherry.

The Vintage Story

1964

The year in the bottle

Lyndon Johnson wins in a landslide. Congress passes the Tonkin Gulf Resolution, escalating American involvement in the Vietnam War. Cassius Clay becomes Muhammad Ali—and the heavyweight champion of the world. Beatlemania descends on America. China detonates its first atomic weapon. The Warren Commission concludes that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. The deaths of Herbert Hoover, Jawaharlal Nehru, and Douglas MacArthur signify the end of one era and the dawn of another.
