Lux Row Distillers located in Bardstown, Kentucky is launching Blood Oath Pact 7 Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. This latest release from Lux Row Master Distiller John Rempe is finished in Sauternes casks.
“Finishing in a Sauternes cask brings additional tasting notes and flavor to the bourbon,” said Rempe. “In the case of Pact 7, expect a nose of caramel, oak and spice with flavor notes of apricots, honey and peaches. The balance of sweetness and spice is what sets this bourbon apart.”
Blood Oath Pact 7 features a combination of three Kentucky straight bourbon whiskeys.
- A 14-year ryed bourbon
- An 8-year ryed bourbon
- And an 8-year ryed bourbon finished in sauternes wine casks
Sauternes is a sweet white wine from the small town of Sauternes in the Bordeaux region of France.

The Blood Oath concept was created in 2014 by Rempe, who had an idea to make an exceptional blend of Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey using three unique bourbons. He named the series Blood Oath, because he vows to be the only one who knows where these whiskeys have come from. He also promises to make the best bourbon for the bourbon connoisseur with each Pact.
“Creating an extraordinary and unique blend of Kentucky straight bourbon whiskeys is at the heart of the Blood Oath series,” said Rempe. “Pact 7 continues this tradition, and the result is a secret I can’t wait to share with bourbon lovers.”
Blood Oath Pact 7 has a total allocation of 51,000 bottles, 1,400 of which will be held for a future Trilogy Pack release. The first Trilogy Pack, featuring Pacts 1, 2 and 3, was released in 2018. The second Trilogy Pack, featuring Pacts 4, 5 and 6, will be released later this year.
Blood Oath Pact 7 Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is bottled at 98.6 proof (49.3% ABV) and will be available starting mid-April with a suggested retail price of $99.99 per bottle.
