Has anyone ever had Blood Oath? Had a liquor store owner show me a bottle he got in. Sounds like it's not easy to get ahold of. Wondering if it's just a lot of talk or if it's worthy of taking the $$$ plunge. |

They buy "orphan barrels" from what ever distillery they can get them from and then do some "alchemy" to make an "ultra wonderful one time the sum is better than the parts bourbon. There will be no more." As soon as you see that line, run. LOL. I got a buddy of mine that keeps getting sucked in on them. Mixers one and all.  Expensive mixers at that.  That's my take on those anyway. |

That's my take on those anyway. I have Pact#2 and after trying it a couple of times, knew it wasn’t worth anywhere near the $90-ish I paid (...it may have been less but it’s been a few years since I bought it...). So, like Vince said, run away! |

Luke - anytime brother
Inspired by Luke’s question, I pulled out my bottle:
Blood Oath Pact #1
Thought I had #2 but turns out I had the first one. Upon further review, it’s not bad...but not $90 good. |

After several years of chasing all the high dolla bourbon's I just gave up.Maybe one out of ten should've commanded the coin required for admittance.
I know what I like and I stick to it.

Basil Hayden Dark Rye. The regular Basil Hayden bourbon is pretty damn good, but the dark rye is just velvety goodness. |
