To celebrate our 250th birthday, we did something only BHAKTA Spirits can do.

Success rarely arrives looking polished. More often, it comes disguised as risk, timing, and the willingness to act before the world gives you permission.
Enjoyed sitting down with Dan Ball and Riley Lewis on The Anchormen Show to discuss business, opportunity, and what it really takes to build something that lasts.

There’s something about these days that makes us present.
Family. Time. Perspective.

Wishing you warmth, joy, and good spirits—at the table and beyond it.
From our family to yours, Merry Christmas!

I’ve been very lucky in my life—for many reasons, and grateful for many things.

But speaking of Armagnac Day—if you missed it on Sunday—
I was lucky enough to taste a spirit distilled in 1888.
That’s the 19th century—very much alive.
And it hasn’t forgotten a thing.

Turned 50 (yesterday!), and the inquiries arrived at once:
“What would you be doing if not spirits?”

I’ll admit—certain alternate destinies do have their temptations.

A short-lived ban.
A centuries-old tradition.
Here’s where I stand.

My three cents on Repeal Day.

There couldn’t be more Number One about it — ’11 vintage, 11 barrels, 111 proof, and now officially the world’s Number One Bourbon.

🥃 Drink BHAKTA.

History is a magnificent thing — I bottle quite a bit of it.
But the story behind it?
Still being written, one vintage at a time.

1989. The year the world tore down walls and plugged into the future. In Normandy, a few apples chose a different path — distilled, laid down in oak, and left to grow more interesting with age.
Thirty-five years later, they’ve emerged as our BHAKTA 1989 Calvados. Just released.
Only three barrels exist, and I’ve claimed my share.

Apples never tasted so good. But then, most aren’t 1989 vintage.

Freedom, family, friends, and independence—this right here is what it’s all about.

Happy Independence Day weekend, my friends. Dress up, drink up, and light up the Vermont sky like it’s 1776 all over again.
