The inaugural release in the coveted Blood Oath series showcases master blender John Rempe's visionary approach to bourbon making.
A Pioneering Blend of Three Distinct Bourbons
Released in 2015 as the first iteration in what would become a highly sought-after annual series, Blood Oath Pact No. 1 represents a masterful union of three carefully selected Kentucky straight bourbons. This limited 15,000-bottle release combines a 6-year-old wheated bourbon, a 7-year-old high-rye bourbon, and a mysterious 12-year-old bourbon, each contributing unique characteristics to the final expression. Bottled at 98.6 proof (49.3% ABV), this blend undergoes partial aging in barrels with a lighter #3 char—a 25-30 second burn resulting in a char depth of approximately one-sixteenth of an inch.
Tasting notes
The dark golden amber liquid delivers an aromatic profile featuring vanilla and spice with peppery undertones, maple caramel, chocolate notes, abundant oak, and an apricot finish. On the palate, rich vanilla and cocoa merge seamlessly with smooth honey, tobacco, and orange, creating a light and occasionally floral body that never becomes heavy or over-wooded.
