Bhakta 50 Year Brandy 'Barrel #26 Pickerell'

Bhakta 50 Year Brandy 'Barrel #26 Pickerell' is a tribute to the legendary Dave Pickerell, one of the most influential figures in craft distilling. This rare expression is a blend of exceptional vintages, including 1868, 1888, 1929, and more, capturing over a century of history. Bottled in Condom, France, and finished with an Islay influence, the spirit bridges the worlds of brandy and whiskey, highlighting Pickerell’s legacy as a mentor and pioneer.

With an ABV of 47.7%, the brandy offers a sophisticated tasting profile. Expect a harmonious interplay of rich oak, dried fruits, subtle smoke, and warm spice from the Islay finish. Its complexity reflects the care and craft behind every vintage, evolving with hints of caramel, leather, and earthy undertones. 

Only 592 bottles of this special release exist, intended for sipping neat or with a touch of water to unlock its layered character. Each pour celebrates the union of tradition and innovation, honoring Pickerell’s vision and friendship with Raj Bhakta, founder of WhistlePig Rye Whiskey.
