Normandy, meet Gascony. From the global cellars of BHAKTA Spirits comes one of the mostinnovative, unique flavor combinations in the world of drinka union of two ancient Frenchdistilling traditions conceived by spirits visionary Raj Peter Bhakta.

BHAKTA 27-07 is a deeply aged blend of Calvados and Armagnac crafted for thewhiskey lover’s palatewith the BHAKTA Method’ssignature Islay finish adding smokiness and power.

Its also the perfect entry into the rarefied world of aged spirits. While the 27-07s intended agestatement7 years at its youngest, and 27 at its oldestalready placed it among the oldestspirits widely available today, its creation was the result of a blending mishap at ChateauBHAKTA in Condom, France, which almost cost our Cellar Master Giles his job. . . based onthe vintages actually used in the blend, the true age of 27-07 is 18 at its youngest, and 49 at itsoldest.

While we dont know if quality control product sampling might have contributed to what wenow call Giles Folly, we do know that the truth behind 27-07s age statement is jaw-dropping.And since The Frenchmans Mistake has robbed our cellar of some exceedingly old brandy,27-07 will never be produced againmaking it a legitimate collectors item.
