This latest release which was produced using whiskeys with a mashbill of 78% corn, 10% rye, and 12% malted barley, was finished in Oloroso Sherry casks.
The Blood Oath concept was created in 2014 by Master
Distiller and Master Blender John Rempe, who had an idea to make an exceptional
blend of Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey using three unique bourbons. He
named the series Blood Oath, because he vows to be the only one who knows where
these whiskeys have come from. He also promises to make the best bourbon for
the bourbon connoisseur with each Pact.
Commenting on the launch, John Rempe, said: "Blood Oath
Pact 9 contains three great bourbons, and the Oloroso Sherry cask finish has
resulted in a deep, dark amber liquid with long legs. The Oloroso Sherry casks
also bring out tasting notes of sweet sherry with hints of ripe fruit on the
nose, as well as flavour notes highlighted by ripe fruits including figs, plums
and raisins, with notes of molasses, chocolate and tobacco. This bourbon also
provides a long-lasting finish characterized by fruit notes and complemented by
hints of spicy oak. I'm proud to share Blood Oath Pact 9 with bourbon
lovers."
Limited in quantities, Blood Oath Pact 9, will be available
later this month, from selected retailers in the US, for a RRP of $129.00.
