The ninth chapter in one of American whiskey's most celebrated annual series — Blood Oath Pact No. 9 is a masterful union of three well-bred ryed bourbons, each selected for its distinct character and blended into a single, extraordinary expression. The 2023 release brings together a bold 16-year-old for deep oak character, a luscious 12-year-old for rich complexity, and a 7-year-old finished in Spanish Oloroso Sherry casks — the sherry finish carrying the aroma of sweet sherry while satiating the palate with dark fruit, molasses, chocolate, and tobacco. The result is a bourbon of remarkable depth and sophistication.
