Blood Oath Pact No. 8 Bourbon Whiskey 750 mL

Blood Oath Pact No. 8 Bourbon Whiskey (750 mL) is a bold and beautifully balanced 2022 release in the sought-after Blood Oath series. For this edition, Lux Row’s Master Distiller John Rempe blended a 14-year ryed bourbon, an 11-year ryed bourbon, and an 8-year bourbon finished in Calvados casks—a French apple brandy known for its rich, orchard-fruit complexity. The result is a luxuriously layered bourbon that marries traditional spice and oak with crisp apple, honeyed sweetness, and subtle brandy warmth.

Available now at Whiskey Caviar, Pact No. 8 is a collector-worthy bottle that delivers innovation, age, and elegance in every sip.
