Raj Peter Bhakta

Founder of BHAKTA Spirits and WhistlePig Whiskey

Raj Peter Bhakta is the founder of BHAKTA Spirits and WhistlePig Whiskey. Having built the luxury rye whiskey category, Raj 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.
