2XO Oak Series American Oak

2XO Oak Series American Oak is the latest release from Dixon Dedman’s award-winning 2XO brand, originating from Louisville, Kentucky. Bottled at 46% alcohol by volume (ABV), 92 proof, this Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey features a moderate rye mash bill, ranging from 16% to 18%. It undergoes an innovative double oak technique where chains of charred oak are inserted into the barrels. This process increases the surface area of oak exposure, intensifying maturation and elevating the combination of flavors for a richer, more layered profile.

It has quickly gained recognition in the whiskey community. It has earned accolades, including Double Gold and Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, as well as Double Platinum and Gold at the ASCOT Awards. Media coverage from outlets such as Forbes, Robb Report, Maxim, and Esquire further highlights the success and growing reputation of the 2XO brand.
