Barrel 28: “Rasputin”, 599 Bottles produced
“The 28th barrel honors Grigori Rasputin. Rasputin, meaning dissolute, was the surname adopted by Grigori Novykh. Rasputin fully embodied his new name as a famed libertine, spiritual leader, and advisor to the Romanovs. His death was as fantastical as his life – he purportedly survived being poisoned and shot twice before succumbing to a gunshot to the head. The Bolshevik Revolution followed his assassination, which was no coincidence.”

“BHAKTA 50 is a limited edition 50-year Armagnac collection for spirit enthusiasts seeking the best spirits in the world. When the brand first started, we created 38 single barrels, each a blend of Armagnac vintages from our single vintage library spanning 1868 – 1970, giving you the opportunity to taste spirits distilled in the 19th century.
A brief finish in a Scotch Islay cask makes it one of the most unique spirits collectibles you will find anywhere. Sampling this astounding array of historic vintages involves a journey across the twists and turns of time—and offers a unique glimpse into the mind of our founder, Raj Peter Bhakta.
We recommend buying one to enjoy and one to save as a long-term asset. One to stock, one to rock. The bottle you stock could more than pay for both as these limited releases vanish.”
