  • 2XO French Oak Bourbon is an enjoyable bourbon that’s not overly complex and makes for an approachable expression. It would also work well in a nice cocktail.

  • The palate showcases cookie dough, maple syrup, overripe apples, black pepper, cloves, and allspice.

  • This is a pleasant enough bourbon at a solid price point. It's a bit on the grainy side, which sort of conflicts with 2XO's ethos. It's certainly not my favorite offering from 2XO, but it's a pleasant sipper nevertheless.

House Review
  • Nose:

    Lovely nose with sweet oak, vanilla latte, corn mash, cinnamon rolls and pepper.

  • Taste:

    Silky smooth, light mouthfeel. Plenty of creamed corn comes through, joined by cinnamon rolls, butterscotch pudding, caramel, buttercream and a hint of lemon curd.

  • Finish:

    The finish is medium in length. It's a touch rough and grainy with vanilla and coffee grounds.

  • Overall:

    This is a pleasant enough bourbon at a solid price point. It's a bit on the grainy side, which sort of conflicts with 2XO's ethos. It's certainly not my favorite offering from 2XO, but it's a pleasant sipper nevertheless.
