2XO Oak Series White Oak Rye

White Oak Rye is a bold and innovative expression that captures the untamed spirit of American rye whiskey, elevated by a unique finishing process. Distilled with a traditional high-rye mash bill, this whiskey undergoes a secondary maturation with additional charred white oak—enhancing the flavor with extra layers of depth and sweetness. The result is a rye that honors the grain’s peppery heritage while introducing smooth, oak-forward balance.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Aromas of fresh pine, cool mint, and dry cedar leap from the glass, mingling with a faint sweetness and a touch of char.

Palate: Crisp rye spice dominates the first sip, revealing black pepper, eucalyptus, and hints of citrus. The additional charred white oak imparts rich caramel, toasted vanilla, and a smoky sweetness that softens the herbal intensity.

Finish: Long and layered, with waves of warming spice, fresh-cut wood, and sweet oak trailing into a satisfying, slightly smoky close.

Crafted by master distillers who embrace both tradition and innovation, White Oak Rye is an excellent example of how creative finishing techniques can elevate classic American rye. Whether you're a seasoned rye drinker or exploring the category, this expression offers complexity, balance, and a rugged charm that sets it apart on the shelf.

Perfect for neat sipping, bold cocktails, or collectors seeking something off the beaten path.
