THE RAREST & OLDEST SPIRIT IN THE WORLD

A UNIQUELY RULE-BENDING BRANDY BLEND OF AGED CALVADOS AND ARMAGNAC, 
BOTTLED IN CONDOM, FRANCE. FINISHED IN ISLAY SINGLE MALT SCOTCH

FOR THE WHISKEY LOVER'S PALATE.
Limited edition - 1000 cases only

From the cellars of Raj Bhakta, founder of WhistlePig Whiskey comes BHAKTA Armagnac. Normandy, meet Gascony. From the global cellars of BHAKTA Spirits comes one of the most innovative, unique flavor combinations in the world of drink-a union of two ancient French distilling traditions conceived by spirits visionary Raj Peter Bhakta.

Robust, fruit-forward, floral, and complex, 27-07 is a deeply-aged brandy blend crafted for the whiskey lover's palate--with the BHAKTA Method's signature Islay finish adding smokiness and power. It's also the perfect entry into the rarified world of aged spirits. While the 27-07's intended age statement-7 years at its youngest, and 27 at its oldest--already placed it among the oldest spirits widely available today, its creation was the result of a blending mishap at Chateau BHAKTA in Condom, France, which almost cost our Cellar Master Giles his job... based on the vintages actually used in the blend, the true age of 27-07 is 18 at its youngest, and 49 at its oldest.

While we don’t know if “quality control product sampling” might have contributed to what we now call “Giles’ Folly,” we do know that the truth behind 27-07’s age statement is jaw-dropping. And since “The Frenchman’s Mistake” has robbed our cellar of some exceedingly old brandy, 27-07 will never be produced again—making it a legitimate collector’s item.

TASTING NOTES
27-07 boasts a completely unique flavor profile. In order to freely express the cidery
distillate, Calvados makes up 90% of the blend, whilst the full-bodied Armagnac creeps into the tune of 10%. It is just the perfect touch required to bring an extraordinary complexity that cannot be found in just one of these brandies alone. In the signature rule-bending BHAKTA style, the brandy is finished for a brief spell in Islay casks to get a hint of that smokiness prized by whiskey lovers.
