Highly collectible bourbons will be
available in September
ST.
LOUIS, Aug. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Three is a
magic number – especially when it involves a trilogy of
sought-after bourbons. Lux Row Distillers announced the
release of Blood Oath Trilogy – Third Edition, the latest
collection of limited-release bourbons, or "Pacts," created by Lux
Row Master Distiller John Rempe. Featuring 750mL bottles of Pacts
7, 8 and 9, this latest Trilogy has a limited supply of 1,400 sets
and is available at a minimum suggested retail price $799.99, which reflects the quality and scarcity
of these bourbons. Shipments of the latest Blood Oath Trilogy will
begin in September.
For a decade Rempe has sought out famous and forgotten rare
bourbons and bottled them in combinations for his limited-release
Blood Oath Pacts. Not to cater to anyone's loyalties, he promises
to choose and make the best he knows, but never to reveal where he
finds his bourbon. With each Pact, he sets aside a limited number
of bottles for his Trilogy editions, which are released every three
years.
The third edition of the Blood Oath Trilogy contains Pacts 7, 8
and 9 – reserved since 2021, 2022 and 2023, respectively – and is
packaged in a custom black wooden display box designed to highlight
each Pact's distinctive label. Each of the three carefully crafted
Pacts is bottled at 98.6 proof (49.3% ABV) and will never be
repeated.
- Blood Oath Pact 7 is a blend of a 14-year ryed bourbon and
two 8-year ryed bourbons, one of which was finished in casks that
held Sauternes, a sweet white wine from the Bordeaux region of France. The casks impart a nose of caramel,
oak and honey with flavor notes of apricots, honey and
peaches.
- Blood Oath Pact 8 features a 14-year ryed bourbon, an
11-year ryed bourbon and an 8-year ryed bourbon finished in
Calvados casks, which held apple or pear brandy from the Normandy
region in France. The casks lend
tasting notes of apple on the nose, with hints of vanilla and
cinnamon, as well as flavor notes of ripe apples, juicy pears,
butterscotch and subtle hints of chocolate.
- Pact 9 rounds out the Trilogy with a blend of a
16-year ryed bourbon, a 12-year ryed bourbon and a
7-year ryed bourbon finished in Oloroso Sherry casks from the
Sherry Triangle region in southwest Spain. These casks bring out tasting notes of
sweet sherry with hints of ripe fruit and spicy oak on the
nose.
"Blood Oath is a passion project for me," said Rempe. "Each new
Pact brings together everything that I love about creating
memorable bourbons – from the unique blends to the cask-aging. This
third Trilogy edition is something truly special and I'm looking
forward to sharing this unique collection of bourbon history with
our fans."
