Tasting Notes

BHAKTA 50 boasts a completely unique profile. Heady figs, plums, and
apricots swirling in concert with smoky peat on the nose. The peppery palate delights
the senses with lingering stewed fruits and a long smoky finish reminiscent of whisky
around the campfire.

THE FIRST PRESIDENT & THE LAST MONARCH

Napoleon Bonaparte’s nephew, Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte, served as France’s first
president from 1848-1852. When he constitutionally could not be reelected, he named himself Emperor. As Emperor he oversaw the expansion of France’s overseas domains and the modernization of France’s economy until 1870. The throes of 19 th century expansionism are contained within Barrel 19, aptly named Louis-napoleon. À votre santé!
