Product description
Blood Oath, an ultra premium bourbon from the Luxco Inc. portfolio, debuted in 2015 with the Pact No.1 edition.
It was a marriage of three bourbons with different profiles and different maturation periods from Kentucky. Blood Oath is released once a year, the eighth edition (Pact No. 8) was released in the summer of 2022. This time it was a blend of three bourbons: 14-year-old Ryed bourbon, 11-year-old Ryed bourbon and 8-year-old Ryed bourbon finished in Calvados barrels. The company does not provide information about the origin and proportion of ingredients. The whiskey is bottled at 98.6 proof (this number corresponds to the temperature of a healthy person's body on the Fahrenheit scale), and the edition consisted of 51,000 bottles. Blood Oath (or "blood oath") is the creation of John Rempe, master distiller belonging to Luxco Inc. Lux Row Distillery.
