Blood Oath is the creation of John Rempe, master distiller at Lux Row Distillers in Bardstown, Kentucky. He came up with the concept in 2014, and each release is numbered as a Pact.

How it's made

Each Pact blends three Kentucky straight bourbons, often including a portion finished in a different cask such as Cognac or Sauternes barrels. The recipe changes with every release, so no two Pacts taste the same.
