A Tribute to Music and Whiskey
The Vinyl Blend draws inspiration from Dedman’s personal connection to music, particularly the ritual of enjoying bourbon while listening to vinyl records.
“I am excited for 2XO fans and collectors to try my newest release, The Vinyl Blend,” said Dixon Dedman. “Classic vinyl was how we listened to music growing up in my parent’s house, and the simple ritual of enjoying an album with a neat pour of whiskey is now one of my favorite ways to relax. Sit back, spin your favorite album and raise a glass to good tunes and great bourbon.”
2XO The Vinyl Blend Composition & Tasting Notes
The Vinyl Blend features a sophisticated composition built from two proprietary mash bills: a high-rye bourbon (35% rye) and a moderate-rye bourbon (18% rye).
Quick whisky question
Single malt is everywhere, but what does it mean? We want to know what the word “single” means to you. Three quick questions, under a minute.
The blend’s complexity comes from Dedman’s unique approach of double-barreling 40% of the final product—specifically the high-rye portion—in new #4 charred oak barrels for 9-12 months. The remaining 60% is evenly split between the original high-rye and moderate-rye bourbon mash bills.
Tasting notes for The Vinyl Blend include honeysuckle, vanilla crème brûlée, and grilled pineapple, concluding with what the brand describes as a “long viscous, peppery finish.”
2XO Kentucky Straight Bourbon is produced in partnership with Prestige Beverage Group, which handles importing and distribution. Whiskey enthusiasts can learn more about The Vinyl Blend and other 2XO products at www.2xowhiskey.com.
