Single Vintage Armagnac

**The Vintage Revolution**   
Single vintage spirits are those distilled in a particular year. The true story of a bottle is always told through its vintage—revealing terroir, taste, origin, craft, integrity, and even financial upside. In wine, the pros buy first and   
foremost on vintage. Age statements are vague and misleading. With single vintages, you know exactly what is in your bottle. You may sip with confidence and taste the nuances and the particularities of that year.

Single Vintage Spirits

**Raj Peter Bhakta**

Raj went from investment banking to real-estate to reality TV to a run for Congress to a failed Vermont dairy farm. There, brooding in his Elba in dire financial straits, he essentially sparked the craft rye whiskey movement out of necessity. Eight years later, he walked away from WhistlePig Whiskey, having created a billion-dollar brand and a personal fortune.

This venture, BHAKTA Spirits, is an act of love, not of desperation. He's searching the world over to find the best vintage spirits, curating the finest selection for his House of Vintages. Having spent a lifetime acquiring an encyclopedic knowledge of fine spirits and the capital necessary to secure them, Raj Peter Bhakta is proud to welcome you to his personal cellars.

The Curator

**BHAKTA 1973 Armagnac**

The accolades keep coming in for the 1973 vintage. In just 3 months since its release, it is the highest rated product Raj has ever released in his entire time in the spirits business. It's been awarded Brandy Best in Show at the 2023 TAG Global Spirits Awards and 98 points by International Wine and Spirits Challenge.

An Introduction

**BHAKTA Spirits**

BHAKTA Spirits is the purveyor of the most exquisite spirits in the world. Through a combination of strategic acquisition, creative casks, and craft production, we offer you the chance to experience “time in a bottle.”

**The Four Pillars**

We are intrigued by the *RARE*, though, scarcity itself is insufficient: we pursue the *EXQUISITE*. Yet we seek *ASSETS*, not ostentation, in our collection, and we do this with *PURPOSE*. Our goal with BHAKTA Spirits is Revival: of overlooked spirits, of decrepit farms, and more.
