2XO Oak Series French Oak Bourbon
2XO is a new whiskey brand from renowned blender Dixon Dedman. 2XO, meaning Two Times Oak, refers to Dixon’s unique blending process where he re-barrels his hand-selected whiskey into new charred oak barrels to create a unique combination of intense flavors, character, and complexity with each blend.
French Oak is the second blend in the Oak Series. Dixon uses an innovative double oak technique where he inserts chains of charred French oak into barrels with a moderate rye bourbon mash bill of 18%. Dixon will match the profile of each batch for consistent taste and character, providing an everyday offering. French Oak moves from sweet, rich caramel on the front, to savory notes of coffee and cinnamon in the middle, finishing with a mild peppery spice. It is very approachable and perfect for cocktails.
