Bhakta Brandy 27 07 750 ml

Bhakta 27-07 is a brandy blend from BHAKTA Spirits — roughly 90% Calvados and 10% Armagnac, averaging 18 years old with components ranging from 7 to 27 years, then finished in Islay whisky casks. It's the more accessible sibling to the brand's flagship 50-year Armagnac, bottled at 90 proof. The Islay finish brings a gentle smokiness to what's otherwise an apple-and-oak Calvados base, with autumnal, floral notes on the nose and cinnamon, clove, and dark fruit on the palate, finishing on a balance of apple and smoke. It's an unusual bottle for anyone who likes Calvados but wants a little peat in the mix.

How to drink Bhakta 27-07

Pour it neat in a tulip glass to catch both the apple-forward Calvados base and the Islay smoke on the finish. It's a sipping brandy through and through — save the mixing glass for something else.
