Blood Oath Pact No. 10 Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Blood Oath Pact No. 10 Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is the tenth limited-edition release in Lux Row Distillers' Blood Oath series, created by Master Distiller and Master Blender John Rempe. Released in 2024, Pact No. 10 brings together two ryed bourbons and one finished bourbon before undergoing a distinctive double-cask finish, first in Cabernet Franc barrels and then in Merlot casks. Bottled at 49.3% ABV (98.6 proof), the wine-cask finishing contributes vibrant red fruit and berry character alongside rich caramel, oak, spice, vanilla, and cocoa.

Food Pairing: Grilled ribeye, smoked brisket, roasted duck, barbecue pork ribs, aged cheddar, toasted walnuts, dark chocolate, and raspberry desserts.

Tasting Notes: Deep dark amber with a rich, fruit-forward profile balancing caramel, tart berries, oak, spice, and the influence of its double wine-cask finish.

Nose: Sweet fruit with hints of oak.

Palate: Rich caramel with tart raspberries and black pepper.

Finish: Red stone fruits with undertones of vanilla and cocoa.
