Blood Oath Pact 5 Bourbon Review

Five years into this expression’s existence, and I still look forward to year’s release. I love how John Rempe and the folks at Lux Row Distillers work hard to put something new and creative out each year.

Blood Oath Pact 4 Review

I’ve come into this review completely blind. I’ve not had any of the previous Pacts, so I had no preconceived notions. The appearance in the glass is a deep, rich amber. Swirling it around creates a very thin rim, leading to medium legs that drop quickly into the pool.

Blood Oath Pact 3 Review

It’s been a lot of fun watching Blood Oath progress through the years with each new Pact release. I prefer Pact 2’s nose compared to Pact 3’s with it’s creamier and heavy traditional bourbon notes that I enjoy.

Blood Oath Bourbon Review

his is definitely a sipping bourbon. Neat works great but adding a little water is an option if you to avoid the rye spice from dancing on the tip of your tongue. The proof comes in at 98.6 but drinks more like a 90 proof so avoid adding water if you can.
