BLOOD OATH PACT #11 BOURBON, Kentucky

The three bourbons in this pact blend together so smoothly, and that añejo tequila finish adds a subtle sweetness without overpowering the oak. I poured a glass neat and the 14-year ryed component really comes through with a warm, lingering spice.

That añejo tequila finish really sets this apart—smooth with an unexpected hint of agave sweetness that plays nicely with the rye spice. I’ve tried a lot of finished bourbons, and this one pulls off the balance perfectly.

The blend of 14-year and 10-year bourbons gives it a depth that changes with each sip. The añejo tequila finish adds a subtle sweetness without overpowering the oak.
