Lux Row Distillers has announced the release of Blood Oath Trilogy – Second Edition, the latest collection of limited-release bourbons, or “Pacts,” created by Master Distiller John Rempe. 

The newest limited edition Blood Oath Trilogy will be available in late September and features 750 ml bottles of Pacts 4, 5, and 6 – reserved since 2018, 2019, and 2020 respectively – and is packaged in a black wooden display box designed to highlight each Pact’s distinctive label.

“I look back on each Pact I’ve created for the Blood Oath Series with a tremendous sense of pride and accomplishment, and with each new Pact I develop, I become more eager to create the next,” said Rempe. 

“The bourbons I’ve selected to create each Pact are becoming rarer and harder to find, as are the resulting Pacts themselves. A Blood Oath Trilogy set is like a piece of bourbon history. I’ll never repeat a blend, so once it is gone, it’s gone.”

The Blood Oath name refers to a promise Rempe made to keep the blend of Kentucky straight bourbon whiskeys a secret known only to him, as well as a promise to create the best bourbon for bourbon connoisseurs. 

Now, every year Rempe adds a new Pact to the Blood Oath family.

• Blood Oath Pact 4 is a blend of an extra-aged 12-year bourbon, a rich 10-year bourbon, and a nine-year bourbon finished in toasted barrels for seven months. It has an ultra-smooth finish with lasting notes of caramel, vanilla, and oak.
• Blood Oath Pact 5 is a blend of a 13-year mahogany bourbon, peppery with shavings of dark chocolate; an 11-year silky, wheated bourbon rich with vanilla and honey; and an 8-year bourbon finished in Caribbean rum barrels to impart orange, brown sugar, and warm island spice notes.
• Pact 6 rounds out the Trilogy with a blend of a 14-year ryed bourbon which provides oak and leather undertones; an 8-year, toasty, ryed bourbon that delivers hints of spice; and a 7-year ryed bourbon finished in cognac casks to produce a slightly fruity, brandy flavor.

Each Pact comes in at 98.6 proof (49.3% ABV), is carefully crafted, and will never be repeated. This latest Blood Oath Trilogy has a limited supply of 1,400 sets and will retail for an SSRP of $799.
