2XO Whiskey and renowned American whiskey blender Dixon Dedman announced the national expansion of White Oak Rye (SRP $49.99/750ml), now available in 40 states. 

White Oak Rye joins award-winning bourbons American Oak and French Oak in the Oak Series, a trio of whiskeys showcasing Dixon’s blending process in which every 2XO expression undergoes additional oak exposure.

Dixon is well known for his rye blending, receiving high accolades and ratings for previous ryes blended for Kentucky Owl, a brand started by his great-great grandfather and relaunched by Dixon in 2014. 2XO White Oak Rye features a 95% rye mash bill, elevated through Dixon’s proprietary double-oak technique where he introduces additional charred American white oak to straight rye barrels, intensifying the maturation process.

“After releasing American Oak and French Oak bourbons, rye was the next natural addition to our ongoing Oak Series,” Dixon said in a news release. “I’ve always enjoyed working with a high rye mash bill, and with White Oak Rye, that signature pepper comes through, along with sweeter notes from the double oak exposure during maturation.”

White Oak Rye joins American Oak Bourbon and French Oak Bourbon in the Oak Series, a collection of everyday offerings where Dixon matches the profile of each batch for consistent taste and character. 

All 2XO whiskeys are crafted in partnership with Prestige Beverage Group, an industry-leading importer and brand innovator of award-winning wine and spirits. Together, Dixon and Prestige Beverage Group aim to offer the most unique, sought-after whiskey blends available to spirits enthusiasts everywhere.
