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.

Our Founder

The BHAKTA Stewardship

Nothing here can be repeated

Unearth

Forgotten cellars, acquired whole — casks laid down as far back as 1868, tended by the same hands for fifty years.

Marry

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

Number

Bottled by hand in Vermont, numbered and certified. When a vintage is gone, it is gone forever.
