Producer
2XO is an award-winning Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey brand founded by renowned American whiskey blender Dixon Dedman. The name "2XO" stands for "Two Times Oak," reflecting Dedman's innovative blending process that involves additional oak exposure for each expression. This technique enhances the sweetness to balance the spice from the rye in the mash bills, resulting in a unique combination of intense flavors, character, and complexity in each release. Dedman, known for his high-proof, robust bourbon and rye blends, aims to revolutionize the American whiskey category by moving away from traditional narratives and focusing on innovation backed by exceptional liquid quality.
