Blood Oath Pact No. 7 Bourbon Whiskey
Blood Oath Pact No. 7 Bourbon Whiskey is the 2021 chapter of Lux Row's annual one-and-done series: a 14-year ryed bourbon, an 8-year ryed bourbon and an 8-year bourbon finished in Sauternes wine casks from Bordeaux, France — blended by Master Distiller John Rempe and bottled at 98.6 proof in a 750mL presentation box. The Sauternes finish wraps the high-rye spice in honeyed stone fruit and white florals: apricot, white grape, honeycomb and vanilla bean over toasted oak.

The Pact That Went to Bordeaux
Every Blood Oath Pact is a secret recipe, blended once and never made again — the label itself is a contract with collectors. Pact No. 7's twist is Sauternes: the sweet white wine of Bordeaux, whose honeyed botrytis character softens and sweetens the 14-year-old rye-heavy backbone into something genuinely luxurious. Shop the Blood Oath collection, more bourbon, and the American whiskey shelf at Del Mesa.
Tasting Notes
Golden amber. Floral and rich — apricot, white grape, vanilla bean, toasted oak, caramel and bread pudding. Silky palate of honeycomb, ripe peach, citrus peel and vanilla custard with a hint of rye spice; long, elegant finish of orchard fruit and gentle oak.
How to Enjoy
Neat in a Glencairn — this is a collector's pour, and the Sauternes influence deserves an unhurried tasting. A superb after-dinner bourbon.
