Blood Oath Pact No. 9 Bourbon Whiskey (750 mL) is the 2023 installment in the acclaimed Blood Oath series, offering an innovative blend that honors tradition while exploring new flavor dimensions. For this release, Master Distiller John Rempe combined a 16-year ryed bourbon, a 12-year ryed bourbon, and a 7-year bourbon finished in Oloroso Sherry casks—infusing the blend with a rich layer of dried fruit, toasted nuts, and deep spice. The result is a bold, elegant bourbon with old-world complexity and new-world craft.
Available now at Whiskey Caviar, Pact No. 9 is a limited-edition gem for collectors and flavor-driven bourbon enthusiasts.
