Maker's Mark Cellar Aged (2023 Release)
less fruity
The Tribute Blend is the third release in 2XO's Icon Series and was made to honor the parents of American whiskey blender and founder of the brand Dixon Dedman. It's made from a blend of Kentucky straight bourbon whiskeys with two different mash bill recipes: one has a high-rye (35%) mash bill and the other has a low-rye (16-18%) mash bill. Like other releases from the brand, this features Dixon's "Two Times Oak" blending process -- rebarreling the selected bourbons into new charred oak barrels.
Available for a limited time beginning September 2023. (SRP $99.99).

Tasting Notes
"Black forest cake (cocoa with boozy cherries and sweet spices) fill the nose and coat the tongue. The palate is rather viscous and weighty, with the spices—cinnamon and clove mostly—moving through it at a languid, syrupy pace and tingling the back palate with hints of leather and charred oak. The flavor profile is almost like sipping a less sweet version of an Old Fashioned, sans the orange the peel. "
