About: The latest release in Lux Row’s acclaimed Blood Oath series, Pact No. 12 pushes the boundaries of finished bourbon with a distinctive dual cask approach. This limited release blends carefully selected bourbons and finishes them in casks that previously held Montepulciano and Sangiovese wines, imparting a layered and fruit-forward complexity to the final profile.

On the nose, rich notes of dark cherry, red wine tannins, and toasted oak are complemented by hints of vanilla and baking spice. The palate opens with bold waves of caramel and brown sugar, followed by ripe red fruit, subtle acidity, and a touch of cocoa. The wine influence adds structure and depth without overwhelming the bourbon’s core, leading into a long, warming finish marked by lingering spice, oak, and a dry, slightly tannic edge.

A bold and expressive release, Pact No. 12 balances traditional bourbon richness with the nuanced character of Italian wine cask finishing, making it a standout addition to the Blood Oath lineup.
