About 2Xo French Oak
2XO French Oak is a Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey from the innovative Oak Series by master blender Dixon Dedman, produced by Intercontinental Packaging Company/Prestige Beverage Group. Bottled at 46% ABV (92 proof) in 750ml for $37.50, it employs a pioneering double oak technique: chains of charred French oak are inserted into barrels with an 18% rye mashbill, intensifying maturation through increased oak contact for elevated flavors. What makes it special is the shift from traditional American oak's vanilla-pepper profile to richer baking spices, savory caramel, and coffee notes, balancing rye spice with sweetness for complex yet approachable character. Ideal for bourbon enthusiasts exploring neat sipping or cocktails at an everyday price, it outperforms many in its category for value—complex without overwhelming oak, softer than higher-proof peers, and more nuanced than basic pours like Kentucky Owl Wiseman at $20 less. Reviewers praise its mellow mouthfeel, long finish, and versatility, earning high marks like A- for luxurious balance.
Tasting Notes
👃 Nose
The aroma reveals a rich, brooding profile of deep burnt oak and spicy rye, with subtle floral, cherry, mint, and vanilla notes emerging gently at 46% ABV. Charred wood dominates alongside hints of cinnamon and cherry sweetness that balance without ethanol interference.
👅 Palate
Sweet rich caramel leads on the front, transitioning to savory coffee, cinnamon, and baking spices mid-palate with a chewy, heavy mouthfeel and rye pepperiness. Flavors of cherries, caramelized sugar, herbal rye, vanilla, oak, and subtle orange zest create complex, ambled depth without overwhelming. Nutty tones and dark caramel add luxurious softness.
✨ Finish
Long and woody with mild peppery spice, black/white pepper, baking spice, cocktail bitters, and lingering oak. Medium-length with escalating cherry, vanilla, and oak for an easy, satisfying close.
