2XO Gem of Kentucky Kentucky Straight Bourbon

2XO Gem of Kentucky – Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey – 750 mL

The 2XO Gem of Kentucky is the pinnacle release from the Two Times Oak brand, representing the highest level of craftsmanship from renowned blender Dixon Dedman. This premium Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is meticulously created using the brand’s signature “Two Times Oak” process—barrels are re-entered into new charred oak after initial aging, enhancing complexity and depth.

🥃 Tasting Notes

Nose:
Luxurious aromas of rich caramel, toasted oak, dark cherry, and baking spice, with subtle hints of cocoa and leather.

Palate:
Bold yet balanced, featuring layers of vanilla bean, dark chocolate, cinnamon, and ripe stone fruit. The double oak influence adds depth with pronounced wood spice and a creamy sweetness.

Finish:
Long and elegant, leaving lingering notes of charred oak, toffee, and warm spice.
