BHAKTA 50 is a limited edition 50-year Armagnac collection for spirit enthusiasts seeking the best spirits in the world.

Honor, Unity, Salvation

Charles de Gaulle rose to prominence in WWII when he refused to accept the French government's truce with Germany, exiling himself in London. From there, he created a new government for his home country. He resigned, only to be tapped again in 1958 when he became president of the French Fifth Republic. His nationalist approach earned him a second term as president in 1965. A tenacious statesman, de Gaulle had strong beliefs that he abided by in all his actions. We will toast to that.
