2XO Oak Series American Oak, 46%

Price: 50 Issue: Summer 2024 Reviewer: David Fleming Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey

Part of a new series of limited releases from Kentucky blender Dixon Dedman of Kentucky Owl fame. Fresh and fragrant on the nose, with aromatic oak. The palate is sweet with red fruits, honey, Juicy Fruit gum, light chocolate, and pears. It has great depth that’s nicely balanced by dark chocolate and caramel. On the finish, fragrant woodsmoke, with chocolate and whipped cream leading the way, all creating a very sippable dram.
