Blood Oath Pact No. 6 Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Blood Oath Pact No. 6 continues Master Distiller John Rempe's acclaimed series of unique, limited-release bourbons, each "pact" a distinct blend showcasing innovative finishing. For Pact No. 6, Rempe crafted an intriguing combination: a 14-year-old high-rye bourbon, an 8-year-old corn-heavy bourbon, and a 7-year-old bourbon finished in rare, toasted Brazilian Amburana wood casks. This exotic wood imparts a distinctive and complex array of flavors, elevating the classic bourbon profile with unique spice and aromatic notes.
