2XO Oak Series French Oak Kentucky Straight Bourbon 750mL is a refined double oak Kentucky straight bourbon from 2XO Whiskey, founded by master blender Dixon Dedman. Part of the Oak Series, this expression highlights the influence of French oak through the brand’s signature “Two Times Oak” process, where bourbon is re-barreled to develop added depth, structure, and nuanced flavor.

Elegant and complex, it opens with aromas of caramel, vanilla, and toasted oak, followed by layers of baking spice, dried fruit, cocoa, and subtle floral notes. The French oak influence introduces a more refined tannic structure and spice profile, complementing the bourbon’s natural sweetness and creating a long, smooth finish with lingering spice, oak, and rich warmth. It is a sophisticated take on double oaked bourbon.
