The Estates
A cellar in Gascony, a farm in Vermont
Raj Peter Bhakta acquired the oldest known reserves of Armagnac — casks laid down as far back as 1868 — and brought them to rest on a farm in Shoreham, Vermont. Every bottle carries a year you can hold.
A Word from the Founder
“Drink from a guy who’s alive.”
Raj Peter Bhakta on dead founders, living spirits, and why the year on the bottle matters. Two minutes, well spent.

Marry
New World spirits finished in ancient Armagnac casks — a signature no other house can borrow.
