Product Description
A masterful union of three well-bred bourbons, all with exceptional pedigree. We open with a bold 14-year-old that evokes rich butterscotch and hints of chocolate. Next, an 11-year-old excites the palate with a sweet and spicy nose of vanilla and cinnamon. And lastly, an 8-year-old finished in Calvados casks, delivering notes of juicy pears and ripe apples, reminiscent of the oak barrels' previous life. This ryed trifecta is one for the ages. This rare Past shall never again be made. The Blood Oath attests that every batch of Blood Oath is the undertaking of one man - a student of both Bourbon and Science. Loyal to no one family, favoring no one distillery and bound by no one philosophy - this Bourbon connoisseur has one goal in mind - to seek out Bourbons rare and wonderful, famous and forgotten. Then bottle them in combinations previously unimagined for a lucky few. Not to cater to anyone's loyalties, he has sworn to never reveal where he finds his Bourbon, but only to promise to choose and make the best he knows. Loose lips never tasted something so special.
