In a move that has sent ripples through the bourbon industry, BHAKTA Spirits has unveiled its highly anticipated annual bourbon vintage release. This announcement comes on the heels of last year's unprecedented success with the BHAKTA 2013 Bourbon, which took the industry by storm and garnered numerous accolades.
The BHAKTA 2014 Bourbon (SRP $149) represents the pinnacle of the brand's dedication to single-year spirits, a concept that has quickly gained traction in the market. Crafted from a meticulous selection of the finest ingredients, this exquisite whiskey offers a rich, layered, and robust flavor profile that is sure to captivate enthusiasts.
What sets BHAKTA's bourbon apart is its commitment to authenticity and craftsmanship. The 2014 vintage spent nearly a decade aging before undergoing a 125-day secondary cask finish in ex-French Oak barrels previously used to mature BHAKTA 1973 Armagnac (SRP $399). This unique finishing process imparts unparalleled depth and complexity to the bourbon, elevating it to new heights of excellence.
Master Blender Peter Lynch, renowned for his expertise in the art of whiskey crafting, played a pivotal role in the creation of BHAKTA 2014 Bourbon. Drawing on his years of experience, Lynch masterfully guided the spirit through the intricate aging and finishing process, resulting in a truly exceptional product.
"BHAKTA 2014 Bourbon marries the best of American bravado with true French craft," says Founder Raj Peter Bhakta. "This year's release is a testament to our commitment to quality and innovation. It represents a bold step forward for the bourbon industry, setting a new standard for excellence."
The tasting notes for BHAKTA 2014 Bourbon are as follows:
- Color: Deep, Rich Amber
- Nose: Grassy & Herbaceous; Toasted Oak & Caramel
- Palate: Spicy Attack; Charred Oak, Maraschino, & Maple Syrup

With only 1500 cases available, BHAKTA 2014 Bourbon is poised to become a coveted collector's item. Its limited availability and unparalleled quality make it a must-have for aficionados and connoisseurs alike.
As the bourbon world eagerly awaits the release of BHAKTA 2014 Bourbon, the question on everyone's mind is whether it will surpass the success of its predecessor. Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: BHAKTA Spirits has once again raised the bar for excellence in the world of bourbon.
