Tasting Notes

About:

Appearance:
Nose:
Strong oak and charcoal make for an almost dusty aroma, not unlike a wood shop. Sweet notes like caramel, vanilla, and maraschino cherry contrast with the sawdust. After some time in the glass, maple syrup and a little warm spice come through.
Palate:
Wood is still present on the palate, but it’s substantially mellower than what I got on the nose. It’s also not as sweet as I expected; a pleasant blend of honey, spice, biscuit, and marzipan make me think of baklava. The texture is velvety, with a long, smooth finish. Final Thoughts: All in all, Blood Oath Bourbon Pact No. 2 is a pretty nice bourbon. I found the nose a little uneven, with aromas either woody or sugary, but the palate is better-balanced. Is this whiskey worth the $100-$130 it retails for? Probably not. But the bottle might be! Score: 88
