Bhakta Straight Rye Whiskey Calvados and Armagnac 1928 750ml
About this bottle
Bhakta 1928 is a straight rye whiskey blended with French brandy from Bhakta Spirits, bottled in Vermont. The blend combines 60% 2018 straight rye whiskey with 30% XO Calvados and 10% Armagnac drawn from vintages dating back to 1928, averaging around 15 years old and bottled at 100 proof. The color runs golden orange, with a nose of custard, caramel, and vanilla. On the palate expect oak, vanilla, and baking spice, finishing long with mellow tannins and lingering oak. It's built for whiskey drinkers curious about brandy-cask complexity rather than a straightforward rye.
How to drink Bhakta 1928
Pour it neat in a whiskey glass and give it time to open — the Calvados and Armagnac components show best as the custard and caramel notes unfold. A single large ice cube is fine if you want to soften the 100 proof, but skip mixing it; this one is built to be studied, not stretched into a cocktail.
