The aroma is vibrant and sugary, carrying hints of caramelized sugar and citrus zest. On the palate, it's smooth yet rich with taste, featuring a slight warmth. Further orange sweetness and a touch of spice. A gentle smokiness lingers on the medium-short finish.

About this bottle
Luxco's Blood Oath Bourbon Pact 2, launched in spring 2016, follows the initial Blood Oath blended bourbon from the prior year. Pact 2 combines three distinct bourbons: a 7-year-old rye bourbon with a port finish, an 11-year-old wheated bourbon, and an 11-year-old rye bourbon, all matured in new, charred American oak barrels. Blood Oath is a series of limited edition Kentucky straight bourbons featuring different "pacts" or variations.

Nose: Sweet brown sugar and orange oil. Like an old fashioned with lingering ethanol Palate: Thick brown sugar and orange peel turn into baking spice and oak Finish: Unmemorable lingering oak that is very drying
I gave this 3.5/5 because I don't like it as much as Batch 1, and this bottle really improves with age. UPDATE... 2-14-18 IT OPENS UP REALLY WELL and only gets better with timeππππ but I preferred Batch 1.
Aroma: Vanilla, caramel, ginger, milk chocolate Taste: Cinnamon, baking spices, spun sugar, plums, smoke Finish: Deep smoke, caramel, crispy rice, sweet corn, spices
Bitter. Didnβt enjoy it. Sort of like an expensive version of that other brand. I'm a fan of that distillery's products, but this is terrible. Don't waste your money.
Appearance: light roasted sugar Nose: orange liqueur, almonds, and chives Taste: orange, vanilla, cinnamon, and lemon tea
