Lux Row Distillers Unveils Blood Oath Pact 12

Lux Row Distillers is excited to announce the arrival of their latest offering in the Blood Oath series, the Blood Oath Pact 12 Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. Under the deft guidance of master distiller John Rempe, this bourbon presents a unique experience for bourbon lovers everywhere, as it is finished in Montepulciano and Sangiovese casks, setting itself apart from previous releases.

Scheduled for in-person purchase starting April 25, 2026, this latest expression boasts a limited supply of only 17,000 (three-pack) cases, making it a must-have for collectors and enthusiasts. The suggested retail price is set at $129.99 for each 750mL bottle, and after that, it will hit retail shelves in June.

A Flavor Profile Like No Other

Blood Oath Pact 12 showcases a rich blend of aged bourbons, including nine-year-old and twelve-year-old rye bourbons. Notably, it also features a seven-year rye bourbon that has undergone an intriguing finishing process in Italian wine casks. The interplay of the Montepulciano casks—known for their bold black cherry, leather, and cocoa notes—with the Sangiovese's savory characteristics elevates the whiskey's overall experience.

According to Rempe, the crafting of Blood Oath Pact 12 stemmed from his passion for complex flavor profiles found in Italian wines. While he keeps the exact recipe a secret, he promises that the intricate flavor nuances imparted by the wine casks offer an exceptional drinking experience. He describes the bourbon as starting with stone fruit and caramel, progressing to cocoa, leather, and oak before a delightful spice and black cherry finish.

Unique Packaging

As with all previous editions, Blood Oath Pact 12 is presented in a distinguished package. This year's release features an eye-catching burgundy label with golden accents paying homage to the Italian wines that have inspired it. Every bottle will also come encased in a fire-branded wooden display box, emphasizing Lux Row's commitment to quality design.

In addition to the public launch, a total of 51,000 bottles will be made available, with 1,400 reserved for a future Trilogy release. Lux Row has a tradition of linking releases to trilogies, having previously released Pacts 1 through 9 across two prior collections. Each iteration offers a limited series that bourbon enthusiasts eagerly anticipate.
