Blood Oath hits the mark with Pact No. 7. It’s a rich, balanced whiskey. I think I could more feel the soft roundness of the Sauternes than taste it, since the spice felt familiar to rye. It’s an appealing texture, though, whatever its provenance may be.
Editor’s Note: This whiskey was either bought as a sample by The Whiskey Wash or provided to us as a review sample by the party behind it. Per our editorial policies, this in no way influenced the outcome of this review.
