Tasting Notes:

About:
Appearance:
Nose:
, honey and almonds tangle through tobacco and ginger. Sweet and alluring, the nose gives no hint of its 98 proof label. The
Palate:
is silky, with the almond sweetening to stonefruit and vanilla, only to give up to spice box and golden syrup, leather and a warm undertone of oak. The finish is as long as its legs prophesied, full of candied nuts, marzipan, dark cocoa and tonka bean. The chosen spirits are well rested, giving Blood Oath a depth that cannot be duplicated in the current flash-aging fad. And, as much as my inner skeptic hates to admit it, the blending does indeed live up to hype with a well coreographed balance of complex flavorways. Even without the sophisticated packaging, this is a beauty of a whiskey. To highlight the complexity, I would pair Blood Oath Pact No. 1 with simple, elegant dishes, like a double-cream flan. I rate the Blood Oath bourbon a 91. You can find it for sale online at a number of retailers for an average price of over $90 a bottle.
