46% ABV, 750 ml, Icon series

“Here comes sugar, spice, and everything nicethe nose packs vanilla bean, candied nuts, and cinnamon bun alongside fresh honeydew, cloves, and cream soda. The palate is pleasantly hot, with Red Hots and soft jalapeo spice balanced by blueberry pan cakes, oak, and a touch of tobacco leaf. More spice on the finish, though never too much its on even footing, showing tart berries, bubble gum, and peach.”91 Points, Whisky Advocate

Made by Dixon Dedman, formerly the master blender for Kentucky Owl

“The Tribute Blend is the third small batch blend in the Brands Icon Series, a series of one-off small batch releases. Each blend is different and bears its own name, inspired by the story behind it. The Tribute Blend is a nod to Dixons parents and the path they paved for him. The Tribute Blends mouthfeel is viscous and rich, moving from initial sweetness on the front, to savory notes on the mid-palate, finishing with a muted but lingering spice that hangs around longer than expected.”

2XO, Two Times Oak, is a whiskey brand from renowned blender Dixon Dedman. 2XO, is a blending process Dixon pioneered, where he re-barrels his hand-selected aged whiskey into new charred oak barrels to create a unique combination of intense flavors, character, and complexity with each blend.

Dixons vision is to revolutionize the category, a shift away from the overplayed nostalgic American whiskey storyline, and create an innovative Brand backed by the incredible liquid in the bottle.

The 2XO Brand consists of a series of limited-time small batch offerings (Icon Series), a series of single barrel releases (Gem of Kentucky Series), and an everyday blend offering (Oak Series).
