Description

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

When the brand first started, we created 38 single barrels, each a blend of Armagnac vintages from our single vintage library spanning 1868 - 1970, giving you the opportunity to taste spirits distilled in the 19th century.

A brief finish in a Scotch Islay cask makes it one of the most unique spirits collectibles you will find anywhere. Sampling this astounding array of historic vintages involves a journey across the twists and turns of time—and offers a unique glimpse into the mind of our founder, Raj Peter Bhakta.

Tasting Notes
Nose Heady figs, plums, and apricots swirling in concert with smoky peat.
Palate Peppery palate delights the senses with lingering stewed fruits.
Finish Smoky finish reminiscent of whisky around the campfire.

The Vintage Story

The year in the bottle

Napoleon Bonaparte’s nephew, Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte, served as France’s first president from 1848-1852. When he constitutionally could not be reelected, he named himself Emperor. As Emperor, he oversaw the expansion of France’s overseas domains and the modernization of France’s economy until 1870. The throes of 19th-century expansionism are contained within Barrel 19, aptly named Louis-Napoleon. À votre santé!
