Description

Every BHAKTA bottle carries a year, not an age statement. This one was distilled from a single harvest in 1976, 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 amber orange.

Nose Zesty and lively nose with citrus, orange, exotic fruit, and rancio.

Palate Very soft and supple on the attack with lovely, full mouthfeel enriched by dried fruits, Christmas cake, a touch of ginger spice, and very soft oak notes that are well-integrated and mellow. Superb finish with cigar tobacco, prunes, and some fresh apple crumble notes.
