BHAKTA Spirits is built on a simple, optimistic premise:
the world abounds with treasures.
We seek these treasures—forgotten spirits,abandoned properties—with an eye for overlooked quality and latent potential. Our search spans continents and centuries.
The Founder’s Tale
Raj Peter Bhakta is the founder of BHAKTA Spirits and WhistlePig Whiskey. Having built
the luxury rye whiskey category, Bhakta is now doing the same, on a grander scale, for
vintage spirits.
After selling his stake in WhistlePig in 2019, Bhakta embarked on a sabbatical in search of new
discoveries in the world of spirits. A twist of fate
brought him to Condom, France, where he
unearthed—and acquired—a miraculous cellar of
ancient Armagnac dating back to 1868.
