About this bottle
The Kiawah Blend is the fourth offering in 2XO's Icon Series. Like the preceding releases, this one was blended by American whiskey blender Dixon Dedman through a double-barrel process. For this bottling, Dedman utilized two distinct bourbon mash bills: one with a high-rye content (35% recipe) and another with a moderate rye content (18% recipe). He then subjected the high-rye recipe to a second barrel aging in new, charred oak barrels (levels #3 and #4 char) for nine months to one year. This release is available nationwide starting in April 2024, with a suggested retail price of $99.99.

Elegant, deep vanilla notes and a wonderful mouthfeel (yes, it is smooth for the 52% ABV) make this my favorite 2XO release yet...

Chocolate and nutmeg on the nose, vanilla initially, followed by clove and oak. Finished with peppery spice
