Welcome back to DadDimes on the Rocks, where we bring you the latest reviews on some of the most exciting bourbons in the game. Today, we’re diving into a limited edition that bourbon enthusiasts always look forward to: Blood Oath Pact 10 Bourbon Whiskey. Part of the ongoing Blood Oath series, Pact 10 has a lot to live up to. Let’s see what this expression brings to the table. Bottle Presentation Blood Oath Pact 10 comes in the brand’s signature rectangular bottle, adorned with a label that looks as if it was pulled straight from an ancient manuscript. The deep amber liquid inside adds to the allure, and the wooden top gives it a premium, artisanal feel. As with every release in the Blood Oath series, Pact 10 feels special right from the moment you set your eyes on the bottle. The Blend and Aging What makes Pact 10 interesting is its unique blend of bourbons. It’s a combination of three different bourbons, ranging from 8 to 12 years old. One key aspect is that part of the blend is finished in sherry casks, which imparts additional complexity and richness to the final product. That sherry cask finish is designed to bring a layer of fruity sweetness that plays well with the bourbon's oak and spice elements. Taste On the nose, Blood Oath Pact 10 greets you with rich, inviting aromas of dark fruit, caramel, and vanilla. The influence of the sherry casks is immediately noticeable, giving off hints of dried raisins, figs, and subtle red berries. There’s also a layer of spice—think cinnamon and clove—alongside oak and a bit of toasted sugar. Taking your first sip, you’ll immediately notice the depth of flavor. The entry is smooth, with sweet notes of caramel, honey, and butterscotch, quickly followed by dark fruit flavors from the sherry finish—plums, cherries, and even a hint of orange zest. The oak influence adds a sturdy backbone, with layers of toasted wood and a nice balance of spice. The mouthfeel is rich and velvety, coating your palate with warmth. As it develops, you’ll pick up more complex flavors, like dark chocolate, tobacco, and a little leather. The finish is long and satisfying, with lingering notes of dried fruit, oak, and a touch of spice, leaving a slight sweetness behind. That sherry cask finish really ties the flavors together, making this bourbon both rich and refined. Overall Impression Blood Oath Pact 10 Bourbon delivers a well-rounded and sophisticated experience. The blend of different bourbons, combined with the sherry cask finish, adds layers of complexity that you don’t find in just any bourbon. It’s a bourbon that reveals more with each sip, making it perfect for slow sipping and contemplation. This is the kind of bourbon you’d break out for a special occasion. Its limited-edition nature and the craftsmanship behind it make it a sought-after bottle. Whether you’re a fan of previous Blood Oath releases or this is your first, Pact 10 stands out as one of the most interesting and flavorful expressions in the series. Conclusion In summary, Blood Oath Pact 10 Bourbon Whiskey is a bourbon that deserves its spot in any serious collection. Its blend of bold flavors, balance of sweetness and spice, and that beautiful sherry finish make it a unique and memorable pour. If you come across a bottle, don’t hesitate—it’s worth every drop.
