2XO – ‘Two Times Oak: The Phoenix Blend’ Kentucky Bourbon (750ML)
Blended by Dixon Dedman, whose credentials are unsurpassed among high-end whisky collectors. Known for his high-proof, robust Kentucky Owl bourbon and rye blends, Dixon has established himself as one of the most prolific American whisky blenders in the industry.
Two Times Oak is a blending process where Dixon re-barrels his handcrafted aged whiskey into new charred oak barrels.
Many factors influence the flavor of whiskey during aging, the largest being the barrels rack location, and time in the warehouse, followed by the warehouse location, time and type. 2XO barrels are spread across multiple rickhouses and aged in varying locations in an effort to unique flavor profiles.
The result is a liquid with intense wood notes and extraordinarily rich, complex flavors, blended at a higher proof.
The Phoenix Blend is the first in the Small Batch Blend Series and each will be artfully crafted by Dixon to have its own character.
