Now in its sixth year, the Blood Oath bourbon series has announced the launch of Blood Oath Pact No. 6, coming this spring.

The series – the creation of Lux Row Distillers’ Head Distiller and Master Blender John Rempe – combines three bourbons. For Pact No. 6, Rempe chose a 14-year high-rye bourbon with notes of oak and leather, the company says, with an 8-year, warm, toasty high-rye bourbon, and complemented them both with a 7-year high-rye bourbon rested in cognac casks.

“This particular pact is special in that the cognac barrels added some sweetness and a slight fruity, brandy flavor to the bourbon,” says Rempe.


As with all other Blood Oath expressions, Pact No. 6 is a limited edition, never to be repeated, with only 17,000 cases produced and sold globally.

This expression continues with the tradition of a 98.6 proof — the temperature of human blood — and is packaged in a wooden display box. The suggested retail price is $99.99 per 750-ml bottle.
