White Oak Rye is the third release in 2XO's Oak Series, following the American Oak and French Oak bourbons. Bottled at 92 proof, it's distilled by an undisclosed Kentucky distillery (or distilleries) from a mashbill of 95% rye and 5% malted barley. It has a suggested retail price of $49.99.

    A very enjoyable and well-balanced rye whiskey, albeit pretty simple and not too complex. The oak pairs well with the spice.
