2XO Gem of Kentucky Store pick 750

first off, a huge shoutout and thank you to the team at preet’s for picking and supplying these AMAZING bottles.

The 2XO, Dark Arts rye & Dark Arts bourbon were completely out of this world. The 2XO caught me totally off guard!! I saw the 50% abv and I’m not gonna lie— I judged a book by its cover. I thought there was no way this was gonna have a lot to offer and boy was I WRONG. It’s a complete flavor bomb, punching wayyyy up on its on paper 50%. Grab a bottle now, trust me.

Both the dark arts picks were just outstanding. Dark Arts is simply an pound for pound champion in the craft distillery space right now. I’m not a rye guy, but this is definitely my rye of the year. As for the bourbon pick, I didn’t even know what a Armagnac cask was but I can tell you it’s tasty AF. Absolute banger, full of sweet fruit, smoked oak, and a balance of caramel and honey with a nice side of spice.

I can’t be any happier, definitely looking forward to getting some backups!!

Saw this SP on TikTok and love Gem of KY, so I instantly knew I had to have it! And David having been in on the pick convinced me even more!

Sweet, alittle spice, viscous, long finish
