Blood Oath Pact 9 is an extraordinary spirit that brings together the expertise of master blenders and the richness of aged bourbons. This unique blend is a combination of three different bourbons, each with its own distinct aging process.
The first component of Blood Oath Pact 9 is a 16-year-old oak-aged bourbon. This bourbon has been maturing in charred oak barrels for a remarkable 16 years, allowing it to develop deep and complex flavors. The extended aging process imparts a richness and depth to the bourbon, creating a truly exceptional drinking experience.
The second component of this blend is a luscious 12-year-old bourbon. This bourbon has spent over a decade aging in oak barrels, allowing it to develop a smooth and velvety texture. The 12 years of aging also contribute to the development of flavors, providing a balance of sweetness and complexity.
The final component of Blood Oath Pact 9 is a 7-year-old bourbon that has been finished in Spanish Oloroso Sherry casks. This finishing process adds an extra layer of complexity and depth to the bourbon, as it absorbs the unique flavors and characteristics of the sherry casks. The sherry casks impart a subtle sweetness and nuttiness to the bourbon, enhancing its overall flavor profile.
By combining these three bourbons, Blood Oath Pact 9 achieves a harmonious balance of flavors and textures. The 16-year-old bourbon brings depth and complexity, the 12-year-old bourbon adds smoothness and richness, and the sherry cask finishing adds a unique twist.
As a sommelier and brewer, I have had the pleasure of tasting Blood Oath Pact 9 myself. The experience was truly exceptional. The nose was filled with rich aromas of caramel, vanilla, and oak, hinting at the depth of flavors to come. On the palate, the bourbon was smooth and velvety, with notes of dark chocolate, dried fruits, and a subtle nuttiness from the sherry cask finish. The finish was long and satisfying, leaving a lingering warmth and complexity on the palate.
Blood Oath Pact 9 is a truly remarkable spirit that combines the expertise of master blenders and the richness of aged bourbons. With its combination of a 16-year-old oak-aged bourbon, a luscious 12-year-old expression, and a 7-year-old variant finished in Spanish Oloroso Sherry casks, it offers a unique and unforgettable drinking experience.
