2XO The Tribute Blend, 52%

Price: 100 Issue: Summer 2024 Reviewer: Julia Higgins Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey

Here comes sugar, spice, and everything nice—the nose packs vanilla bean, candied nuts, and cinnamon bun alongside fresh honeydew, cloves, and cream soda. The palate is pleasantly hot, with Red Hots and soft jalapeño spice balanced by blueberry pan cakes, oak, and a touch of tobacco leaf. More spice on the finish, though never too much— it’s on even footing, showing tart berries, bubble gum, and peach.
