The Story
The inaugural Pact. No box. Blood Oath Pact No. 1 — the first expression in Lux Row Distillers' acclaimed annual Blood Oath series, blending three distinct bourbons in a triple-barrel format that has become the hallmark of the line.
Blood Oath is produced by Lux Row Distillers in Bardstown, Kentucky — the home of bourbon. The series is built around a "pact" concept: each annual Pact is Master Distiller John Rempe's sworn commitment to deliver the finest possible expression that year's barrel selection can produce. The format is consistent across Pacts: three different bourbons, each from a different aging background, blended to create a profile more complex than any single bourbon alone. The specific three-bourbon combination changes with each Pact.
Pact No. 1 is the founding expression — the series before it became one of the most anticipated annual American bourbon releases. As the first Pact, it established the Blood Oath philosophy and the triple-blend format that subsequent releases have followed. Bottles are now without the original box.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the Blood Oath series? An annual bourbon series from Lux Row Distillers in Bardstown. Each Pact is a blend of three distinct bourbons — different ages, mashbills, or finishing treatments — assembled by Master Distiller John Rempe. The series has released Pacts No. 1 through 8+, each documenting a different year's triple-blend commitment.
- Why is Pact No. 1 priced significantly above later Pacts? Founding editions of annual series carry both historical significance (the origin point of the program) and extreme rarity (early Pacts were produced before the series gained its current following and demand). Pact No. 1 is from the inaugural release year and surviving bottles are extremely limited.
- Is not having the box a significant issue for collectors? For drinking purposes, the box is irrelevant. For display collectors, the absence of the original box reduces presentation value but not the liquid's rarity or quality. Noted transparently for buyer awareness.
- Is Pact No. 1 still available? In limited quantities — 2 units remaining. The inaugural Pact is the rarest in the current Blood Oath inventory.
