2XO Gem of Kentucky

2XO Gem of Kentucky Single Barrel Bourbon

2XO Gem of Kentucky represents the premium end of Dixon Dedman’s 2XO lineup—a bold, double-barreled single barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon built around a distinctive 35% rye mash bill.

After its initial maturation, each selected barrel receives a second round of aging in new charred oak for up to a year. That additional oak exposure is the foundation of the 2XO—or “Two Times Oak”—philosophy, adding greater richness, sweetness, structure, and an especially viscous mouthfeel while balancing the natural spice of the high-rye bourbon.

Because Gem of Kentucky is bottled as a true single barrel, every barrel offers its own personality. Expect profiles ranging from dark chocolate, cinnamon, toasted marshmallow, caramel, and baking spice to more savory expressions featuring dark red fruit, nutmeg, toasted oak, and black pepper.

At 108 proof, Gem of Kentucky delivers plenty of intensity without sacrificing balance. The combination of high-rye spice, substantial oak influence, and rich sweetness makes this an excellent choice for enthusiasts who enjoy powerful, oak-forward Kentucky bourbon with genuine single-barrel variation.

For fans of Dixon Dedman’s blending style or collectors looking for one of the more distinctive premium single-barrel releases on the shelf, Gem of Kentucky is a bottle built to be explored one barrel at a time.
