Raj Peter Bhakta:
A Love Affair with Pigs
The Visionary Behind Hogsworth
Raj Peter Bhakta doesn't just build brands—he builds legacies. From revolutionizing American rye whiskey with WhistlePig to resurrecting forgotten Armagnacs with BHAKTA Spirits, his name has become synonymous with quality, rarity, and audacity in the spirits world. But behind every great empire, there's a surprising muse... For Raj, that muse is the pig.
The Pig as a Symbol of Obsession & Excellence
Bhakta's journey into spirits was, quite literally, led by a pig. When he launched WhistlePig, he didn't just name his brand after the mischievous woodchuck (often called a "whistle pig")—he adopted the pig as his totem animal, an emblem of boldness, tenacity, and excess.
Pigs, after all, are intelligent, stubborn, and resourceful—not unlike Raj himself. While others sought to capitalize on fleeting trends, he saw opportunity where others didn't:
WhistlePig proved that American rye whiskey could compete with the best in the world.
BHAKTA Spirits resurrected centuries-old Armagnacs, transforming them into collectible masterpieces.
Hogsworth now takes that same daring approach, blending Bourbon and Armagnac into something never before imagined.
The spirit is known for notes of honey, crème brûlée, baking spices, ginger snap, chai, and dried fruit, with a firm finish of oak, vanilla, and marmalade.
