2XO Innkeeper's Blend bourbon review: A lovely, spicy delight showing this new brand's true potential. whiskey bourbon
from young brand 2XO back at the end of 2022, and it’s all still relevant, so I’ll just say it again:
There are certain names in the whiskey industry that most any drinker would find intriguing when attached to a new bourbon brand, and it’s fair to say that Dixon Dedman is one of those names. The well-known blender garnered some serious critical acclaim when he relaunched the Kentucky Owl brand back in 2014, an homage to an early brand once produced by his great-great grandfather.
Like the first release, The Innkeeper’s Blend is a blend of mash bills from two different unnamed distilling partners–“one a high rye 35% bourbon mash bill and one a lower rye 16-18% bourbon mash bill.” Dedman then re-barrels those whiskeys into newly charred American oak at both #3 and #4 char levels, and builds the subsequent blend to a sturdy 52% ABV . The final product is non-age-stated, which we must note is still a bit of a hard sell on any bourbon with a $100 price tag.
On the palate, The Innkeeper’s Blend comes alive with flourishes of spice and rich caramelized sugars. There’s lots of caramel and vanilla here, suggesting crème brulee with a creamy impression. This foreground quickly transitions into some really nice, wood-driven spiciness, both in the baking spice and tingly/heat department. I’m talking some black pepper and chile, but lots of cinnamon, allspice and nutmeg that feels very wood derived.
