Product Overview
Bhakta 2012 Single Malt is a unique and intriguing expression of single malt whiskey, as it's part of the Bhakta Spirits line, which has gained attention for its experimental approach to aging whiskey. Bhakta 2012 is a blend of single malts, aged in a variety of barrels, with a focus on aging in French oak wine casks (particularly from Bordeaux), which is less common for whiskey. This innovative method results in a whiskey that combines classic malt whisky characteristics with the complexities imparted by wine casks.
The unusual wine cask aging imparts a unique profile, combining the richness and fruitiness of Bordeaux wine with the classic characteristics of malt whiskey. The result is a full-bodied, rich dram with layers of dark fruit, baking spices, oak, and subtle cocoa flavors. It has a warming, satisfying finish that lingers, making it a great option for those who enjoy more experimental, wine-influenced whiskeys.
This is a whiskey that may appeal to both malt whiskey enthusiasts and wine lovers, as it successfully bridges the two worlds while maintaining a smooth, balanced profile. Best enjoyed neat or with a splash of water to fully appreciate its depth.
