2XO White Oak Rye Straight Rye Whiskey

Process & Profile

2XO White Oak Rye Straight Rye Whiskey, part of the esteemed Oak Series by 2XO (Two Times Oak), is a premium release from Dixon Dedman, crafted in Bardstown, Kentucky. Distilled from a high-rye mash bill (typically 95% rye, 5% malted barley) by MPG, this straight rye whiskey is aged for at least 4 years in charred new oak barrels before undergoing a double-barreling process. The second maturation in additional charred white oak barrels enhances its flavor, imparting sweeter, richer notes. Bottled at 46% ABV (92 proof), this limited-edition rye reflects 2XO’s innovative approach to oak influence, delivering a balanced yet bold spirit.
