Blood Oath Pact No.11 Bourbon Whiskey 2025

Blood Oath Pact No. 11 is the 11th annual limited release from Lux Row Distillers. This edition blends three distinct bourbons—a 14-year rye bourbon, a 10-year wheated bourbon, and a 7-year rye bourbon—and finishes part of it in Añejo tequila barrels to add depth and complexity. It’s designed to be rich but approachable, delivering layered flavor without overwhelming heat.

Tasting Notes

Aromas of warm vanilla, black pepper, and oak build into richer scents of cherry and citrus. On the palate, expect sweet caramel and spice tempered by dark chocolate and oak notes. The finish carries velvet-like textures, lingering with black cherry and decadent dark chocolate.

Characteristics

Full bodied and bold proof, yet balanced through thoughtful finishing. The tequila barrel influence adds subtle nuance rather than overpowering the bourbon’s core flavors. Complex, with sweet, spicy, and oak tones all playing a part.

Serving Suggestions

Serve at about 60-65°F. Use a large, clean glass (snifter or Glencairn) to appreciate the aroma. Ideal for sipping neat, or with just a splash of water to open up the flavors.
