Hot Pick｜2XO Gem Of Kentucky Single Barrel Bourbon Whiskey｜ Other Products

Gem of Kentucky is the only double-barreled single-barrel bourbon on the market, and it's 2XO's premiere offering. Dixon Dedman — the blender who resurrected his great-great-grandfather's Kentucky Owl in 2014 and made it a cult, and who launched 2XO, "Two Times Oak," in late 2022 — built his whole brand on giving bourbon a second round of oak. Gem of Kentucky takes that idea to its logical end: a single barrel of high-rye Kentucky straight bourbon, 35% rye in the mash, re-barreled into a single new charred oak cask and bottled from that one barrel alone, at barrel strength. No blending across barrels, no averaging out — the differing char levels used across the secondary barreling allow complex flavors to develop and balance the spicy finish of the high-rye distillate, and every bottle is unique to its cask. It took Double Platinum at the 2024 ASCOT Awards. Tortured Bourbon called it a double-barreled, single-barrel anomaly with all the spicy complexity you'd expect from 35% rye — and at over $200, not just a flex. Expect a deep mahogany pour with dense caramel, brown sugar, dark cherry, and heavy toasted oak on the nose, opening into a thick, oily palate of butterscotch, cinnamon, clove, cedar, and dark chocolate, the rye spice riding over a bed of char-driven sweetness, finishing very long and warm. Honest note: proof and profile vary by barrel; check your label. The top of the 2XO pyramid.
