#1 Spirit of 2023 as selected by the 2023 Ultimate Spirits Challenge

Exquisitely complex and astoundingly aged, BHAKTA 1973 Armagnac is our 50 Year, Golden Anniversary Armagnac vintage. A landmark year at every level—
 and a pure distillation of the spirit of celebration — this vintage shows a nose of baked apple, old books cinnamon, and leather, followed by nutmeg and macerated raisins on the palate. In history, 1973 was defined by the opening of the World Trade Center, the sale of the New York Yankees to George Steinbrenner, and the departure of the last American soldier from Vietnam.
