2XO Whiskey unveils Gem of Kentucky: A distinctive double barreled bourbon

2XO Whiskey introduces Gem of Kentucky, a groundbreaking double barreled, single barrel Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey, expertly selected by the acclaimed American whiskey blender, Dixon Dedman. This exceptional bourbon, presented in a stunning black bottle, is the only one of its kind on the market, marking a significant milestone for 2XO and bourbon enthusiasts alike.

Exclusive Selection by Dixon Dedman

Dixon Dedman, renowned for his blending expertise, has meticulously selected single barrels for Gem of Kentucky. The barrels contain high rye bourbon mash bill (35%) aged up to a year in new charred oak before bottling. Priced at $199.99, this annual release is a must-have for collectors and connoisseurs, available in select markets nationwide in limited quantities.

A Unique Tasting Experience

Gem of Kentucky offers a full-bodied, flavorful profile, thanks to Dixon’s pioneering double barreling 2XO process. This technique results in a richer, more viscous mouthfeel, balancing sweet, complex flavors with a spicy finish. Each bottle, identifiable by its barrel number, offers a unique taste profile, ranging from sweet notes of chocolate and cinnamon to savory hints of dark red fruits and black pepper spice.
