In honor of the double-digit age milestone,
the latest offering is double finished in Cabernet Franc and Merlot
casks
ST.
LOUIS, April 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Lux
Row Master Distiller and Master Blender John Rempe marks a decade
of distinction – and secrecy – as he renews his annual pact with
bourbon drinkers by releasing Blood Oath Pact 10 Kentucky Straight
Bourbon Whiskey double finished in Cabernet Franc and Merlot casks.
A limited supply of 17,000 (3-in) cases will arrive at retail this
month at a suggested price of $129.99
per 750 ml bottle. As with all of Rempe's pacts, Blood Oath Pact 10
is offered at 98.6 proof (49.3% ABV).
Blood Oath Pact 10 combines some of the finest rare bourbons
Rempe could find, including two well-bred ryed bourbons and one
finished bourbon each complementing the others. In honor of Blood
Oath's double-digit age milestone, Rempe achieved a double finish
for this year's special, secret blend. The first finish was
perfected in Cabernet Franc barrels, imbuing rich flavors of tart
raspberries and black pepper. The second finish was refined in
Merlot barrels, instilling the tastes of red stone fruits with
undertones of vanilla, cocoa and anise. The result is a delicious
and distinctive pour.
For a decade Rempe has sought out famous and forgotten rare
bourbons and bottled them in combinations for his limited-release
Blood Oath Pacts. Not to cater to anyone's loyalties, he has sworn
to never reveal where he finds his bourbon, but only promises to
choose and make the best he knows.
"We wanted to create something truly distinctive and unique to
mark our 10th edition of Blood Oath and we did just
that," said Rempe. "For this offering I sourced three extraordinary
bourbons that could be elevated even further through a double
finish in Cabernet Franc and Merlot casks, and would ultimately
deliver the kind of rich, fruit-forward notes and smooth drinking
experience I wanted to achieve. It's a superb blend and I'm excited
to share it."
Lux Row only releases one new Blood Oath Pact annually, and each
limited edition features a distinct and thoughtfully designed
label. This year, a black label with striking silver highlights
adorns the Blood Oath Pact 10 bottle. And like its predecessors,
each bottle of Blood Oath Pact 10 comes in a commemorative
fire-branded wooden display box.
The official launch of Blood Oath Pact 10 will include a total
allocation of 51,000 bottles, 1,400 of which will be held for a
future Trilogy release. The first Trilogy featuring Pacts 1, 2 and
3, was released in 2018, and the second Trilogy featuring Pacts 4,
5 and 6, was released in September
2021 in conjunction with National Bourbon Heritage Month.
The next Blood Oath Trilogy, featuring Pacts 7, 8 and 9, will be
offered later this year.
