Description

Every BHAKTA bottle carries a year, not an age statement. This one was distilled from a single harvest in 1998, 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 Golden orange.

Nose Fresh and dried fruit with quite dominant citrus notes that bring a lot of freshness. Some vanilla and brown sugar notes. Very clean, fresh and fruity.

Palate Slightly sweet opening and blast of power with clean, straight lines. Old libraries, polished wood furniture, beeswax, and slight dry bitterness. Sweetness continues with each sip, followed by this great muscle power straight behind. Dried fruit with rich nuttiness and oak. Complex palette of aromas with long, rancio notes, and soft spices.
