This landmark single-year whiskey curated from the global cellars of Raj Peter Bhakta designates the beginning of BHAKTA Spirits’ ’Drink Vintage’ campaign; his first-ever bourbon, this singular vintage release symbolizes his return to his infamous métier — whiskey — which vaulted him to prominence as an iconic progenitor of the American craft spirits movement. 

If you’ve ever heard a sommelier hold court on the quality and complexity of their favorite bottles, you already know this timeless truth: vintages are everything. Each year is different. 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.
