Lux Row Distillers has launched installment number four in their Blood Oath ultra-premium bourbon series – Blood Oath Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Pact No. 4. Blood Oath combines rare, top-notch bourbons, blended and bottled by hand for a distinctively exclusive and unimagined Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey.
A Blend of 3 Bourbons Ranging from 9 to 12 Years
Pact No. 4 continues the tradition with a union of three well-bred Kentucky straight bourbons. The company says the first is an extra-aged 12-year bourbon that provides a mellow finish with deep oak undertones, and the second is a rich 10-year bourbon that adds caramel and honey flavors. The third, a nine-year bourbon, rounds out the flavors as it is finished in toasted bourbon barrels – adding deep chocolate, vanilla and spice flavors.
“We finished the nine-year bourbon in a toasted barrel to add an extra layer of flavor. The gentle heating adds more caramel and chocolate accents, as well as a spicier flavor. The toasted barrels, combined with the aging in traditional charred barrels, create a uniquely complex bourbon like no other,” says John Rempe, creator of Blood Oath and head distiller and master blender at Lux Row Distillers. “This bourbon starts off with a strong oak nose and finishes with a robust spice, followed by an ultra-smooth lasting caramel, vanilla and oak.”

The Blood Oath series launched in 2015 with Pact No. 1, and will highlight a different variant, or Pact, each year. Pact No. 4 is limited release, with only 12,000 cases (3-packs.) This year’s release will be sold in a commemorative stained wooden box, reminiscent of the toasted barrels used during the finishing process. The bottle is topped with a custom, eco-friendly natural cork, sealed and labeled with certificate-style paper stock signed by John Rempe and bottled at 98.6 proof. Pact No. 4 is available nationally in 750ml bottles, with a suggested retail price of $99.99.
