Blood Oath Pact No. 4 Bourbon Whiskey (750 mL) is a rich and daring limited-edition release that highlights the art of cask finishing and expert blending. For this 2018 release, Lux Row’s Master Distiller John Rempe combined a 12-year ryed bourbon, an 8-year high-rye bourbon, and an 8-year bourbon finished in toasted oak barrels. The toasted oak finish brings forward deep layers of caramel, spice, and wood influence, making Pact No. 4 a bold yet balanced expression that stands out in the Blood Oath lineup.
Available now at Whiskey Caviar, Pact No. 4 is a collector’s gem and a full-flavored bourbon that rewards every sip.
