2XO The Sneakerhead Blend
Bourbon
2XO // Kentucky, USA
The Sneakerhead Blend is the fifth release for the 2XO's Icon Series. Like the others, this one was blended by American whiskey blender Dixon Dedman using a double-barrel process. For this bottling, two bourbon mash bills were used — one with a high-rye 35% recipe and another with a moderate 18% rye recipe. Dedman double-barreled the high-rye recipe into new, charred oak barrels (#3 and #4 char levels) for 9 months to a year.
This high-rye portion makes up 60% of the blend. Available nationwide beginning October 2024. (SRP $99.99) .

Tasting Notes
"The nose brings a hearty oak and spice driven aroma. There's a nuttiness there as well as caramel popcorn. It's moderately full on the palate with the flavors giving fall vibes — ginger, walnuts, herbal rye notes. A bit hot at the end, but not uncomfortably so. Just enough brown sugar sweetness there to balance it out. "
