Hints of cinnamon and nutmeg give the brandy some nuance, with a more savory, oak-driven element adding some gravitas. The palate pops with fruit, the smoke here coming across like a mix of apples and stone fruit pulled off the grill, laced throughout with vanilla and caramel.

That agreement has now expired, and so The man who started WhistlePig is back with a new, namesake company, Bhakta Spirits. \" Richard Thomas, The Whiskey Reviewer\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bhakta","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52613002068335,"sku":"6334","price":74.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0924\/4947\/2879\/files\/6334-bhakta-brandy-27-07_1.jpg?v=1789084997","url":"https:\/\/www.grapesthewineco.com\/products\/bhakta-brandy-27-07-nv-750ml","provider":"Grapes The Wine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
