Description

Every BHAKTA bottle carries a year, not an age statement. This one was distilled from a single harvest in 1966, 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 mahogany.

Nose Wonderful, rich molasses and toffee notes with vanilla and cream. Sweet notes of dessert with vanilla custard.

Palate Quite dry on the attack and powerful with more sweetness and great body. Nutty profile with notes of leather and spice. Baco grape expresses itself perfectly here as there is an earthiness and structure to this old Bas Armagnac. Long lasting in the mouth with big flavors of dried fruit and dry, yet mellow tannins.
