Vintage Bourbon Whiskeys

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

2XO Whiskey Unveils the Second Vintage of Its Gem of Kentucky Bourbon

— November 5, 2024 — Art & Design
2XO Whiskey has unveiled the second vintage of its Gem of Kentucky bourbon. The expression is distinguished as the sole double-barreled, single-barrel Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey available on the market. This release is timed for the holiday season and comes in an elegantly designed black bottle that will surely appeal to collectors and connoisseurs alike.

Crafted by noted blender Dixon Dedman, this Gem of Kentucky bourbon is made from a high rye mash bill and involves a unique aging process where each barrel spends a significant amount of time in new charred oak barrels. This innovative approach allows for a diverse flavor profile, with some barrels presenting sweeter notes like chocolate and toasted marshmallow, while others offer spicier, savory characteristics such as dark fruits and nutmeg.

One of the standout features of this release is the collaboration with glass artist Travis Adams, who created a limited series of hand-blown glass sculptures titled 'The Unmined Gem.'
