French Oak
French Oak is the second blend in the Oak Series. Dixon uses an innovative double oak technique where he inserts chains of charred French oak into barrels with a moderate rye bourbon mash bill of 18%. Dixon will match the profile of each batch for consistent taste and character, providing an everyday offering. French Oak moves from sweet, rich caramel on the front, to savory notes of coffee and cinnamon in the middle, finishing with a mild peppery spice. It is very approachable and perfect for cocktails.
The French Oak blend’s bold notes of coffee and cinnamon arise from the secondary addition of highly charred French oak introduced toward the end of maturation. These sweeter flavors create a delicately complex balance with the spice notes from the rye in the mash bill.
