This very limited release marries exceptional aged bourbons with the nuanced complexities of Montepulciano and Sangiovese wine casks, creating a symphony of dark fruit, spice, and enduring oak. A truly unparalleled expression, bottled before its declared future, this rare Pact is a collector's dream, never to be made again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \n        \u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e A sophisticated bouquet immediately presents itself, weaving together notes of dark, sun-ripened cherries and blackberries from the Montepulciano, intertwined with the slightly tart, earthy red fruit character of Sangiovese. Underlying these wine-influenced aromatics are classic bourbon notes of vanilla bean, caramel drizzle, and a hint of toasted oak, lifted by a subtle floral whisper. A faint spice, perhaps a touch of cinnamon or nutmeg, emerges with anticipation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e The entry is remarkably smooth and velvety, coating the palate with a rich tapestry of flavors. The influence of the wine casks truly shines here, delivering a generous wave of cooked dark fruits – plum jam, blackberry compote, and juicy red grapes – balanced exquisitely with traditional bourbon sweetness. Vanilla custard, brown sugar, and a comforting warmth of baking spices like clove and allspice dance on the tongue. There's a delicate tannic grip, providing structure without being astringent, hinting at the wine's origin and preventing the fruit from becoming cloying. A subtle nuttiness and a fleeting hint of cocoa powder add further complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e The finish is exceptionally long and lingering, a testament to its careful maturation. The fruit character persists, evolving into a pleasant dried fruit, almost fig-like, quality. Oak spices re-emerge more prominently, showcasing a beautifully integrated balance between sweetness and a gentle, warming peppery kick. A delicate earthiness and a final whisper of dark chocolate complete a truly memorable conclusion, leaving a harmonious warmth and a desire for another sip.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Reserve","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48273423991002,"sku":"2066343","price":219.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0656\/8263\/7018\/files\/main_78b3b534-3455-4dd7-a105-1482cb28a1d8.png?v=1785204688","url":"https:\/\/takeyourpickliquors.com\/products\/2026-blood-oath-pact-no-12-98-6-proof-750ml","provider":"Take Your Pick Liquors","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
