Send us a textMark Carter joins us to share his remarkable journey from builder to whiskey maker and the philosophy behind Old Carter's exceptional barrel-proof expressions.• Building a hotel and restaurant led to wine making in Napa Valley• Partnered with Dixon Dedman to revive Kentucky Owl in 2011• Founded Old Carter immediately after selling Kentucky Owl in 2017• Never releases whiskey younger than 7 years old with most current products 10+ years• Meticulously tastes and grades each barrel before creating small batch blends• Uses multiple coopers for different flavor profiles• The Carter Club is expanding with 400 additional lockers• American Whiskey Batch 14 contains approximately 50% whiskey aged 19-20 years• Balance is key to creating high-proof whiskeys that don't drink "hot"• Describes Old Carter's signature profile as having "deep, rich aromatics" with "a long finish"• Double barreling techniques create unique flavors in their expressionsMark Carter's path to becoming one of Kentucky's most respected whiskey makers began far from the bourbon trail. A builder by trade who constructed a hotel, then managed its restaurant, Carter's curiosity about wine led him to purchase a Napa Valley winery in 2006. When seeking custom crush clients, he connected with Kentucky innkeeper Dixon Dedman, and instead of making wine together, suggested reviving Dedman's family whiskey heritage. This collaboration birthed Kentucky Owl in 2011, which they later sold to Stoli Group in 2017—the very same day Mark launched Old Carter Whiskey.What makes Old Carter stand out in today's crowded whiskey landscape is Mark's unwavering commitment to quality. Nothing younger than seven years reaches the bottle, with most current releases featuring whiskey aged 10+ years. The blending process reveals Carter's artistry—tasting through dozens of barrels, grading each one, then carefully combining them to achieve perfect harmony. As he describes it, "We don't like hot. We want balanced. We love flavor." This philosophy explains how Old Carter creates high-proof expressions (often above 130 proof) that drink with remarkable smoothness.The American Whiskey Batch 14 showcased during our conversation exemplifies this approach, containing approximately 50% whiskey aged 19-20 years. Despite its 134.3 proof, it delivers sweet notes of marshmallow and crème brûlée with a warming—never burning—finish. This meticulous attention extends to their barrel program, where Mark works with multiple coopers to achieve different flavor profiles, drawing parallels to his wine-making background.Old Carter continues to expand, with their Carter Club adding 400 new lockers and several small batch releases planned for different distributors. Mark's passion for whiskey craftsmanship shines through in every expression, creating products that whiskey enthusiasts treasure. Experience what happens when patience, expertise, and unwavering standards come together in a glass—try Old Carter and taste the difference true dedication makes.voice over Whiskey Thief If You Have Gohsts Add for SOFLSupport the showhttps://www.scotchybourbonboys.com The Scotchy bourbon Boys are #3 in Feedspots Top 60 whiskey podcasts in the world https://podcast.feedspot.com/whiskey_podcasts/

The additional oak interaction builds the sweetness to balance out the spice from the rye in the mash bills, creating a unique combination of intense flavors, character, and complexity with each expression.Dixon's vision is to revolutionize the category, a shift away from the overplayed nostalgic American whiskey storyline, and create an innovative Brand backed by the incredible liquid in the bottle.The 2XO brand consists of an everyday blend offering (Oak Series), a series of limited-time, small batch blend offerings (Icon Series), and a series of single barrel releases (Gem of Kentucky).A New Breed of BlenderDixon Dedman is a 42-year-old blender who has quickly established himself as one of the most prolific American whiskey blenders in the industry known for his high-proof, robust bourbon and rye blends. He grew up on the whiskey trail infusing the learnings from industry legends with his culinary expertise from running his family's business, the famed and James Beard award-winning Beaumont Inn. His credentials are unsurpassed among high-end whisky retailers, writers, and collectors. He's a foodie, a wine connoisseur, runs marathons, and is a sneakerhead who connects with a broad range of drinkers, from millennials to boomers.A chili cook-off is a social event or competition where participants prepare and submit their chili recipes for taste testing by a panel of judges or the public, with prizes awarded to the winners.Here's a more detailed explanation:The Concept:Chili cook-offs are essentially culinary competitions focused on chili, where individuals or teams create and compete with their chili recipes.The Process:Participants prepare their chili, often in advance, and submit it for judging or public tasting.Judging:Judges (or the public) taste the chili and evaluate it based on various criteria, such as flavor, spice level, and overall taste.Prizes:Winners are awarded prizes, which can range from bragging rights to cash or other rewards.Variations:Chili cook-offs can range from small, informal gatherings to large-scale events with official sanctioning and significant prize pools.Organizations:The International Chili Society (ICS) and Chili Appreciation Society International (CASI) organize and sanction chili cook-offs.Fundraising:Many chili cook-offs serve as fundraisers for charities.Other Activities:Some chili cook-offs feature additional activities, such as live music, raffles, and vendor booths.Whiskey judging is a structured process where experts evaluate and score whiskies based on their appearance, aroma, taste, and overall impression, often in blind tasting competitions to determine awards like gold, silver, and bronze.

For Bourbon Community Roundtable number 101, where we dive deep into the recent news of Stoli and its subsidiary Kentucky Owl filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. This important conversation touches on the implications for the bourbon community, the brand's significant history, and our personal connections to its legacy. The group discusses how Kentucky Owl, once a celebrated brand under Dixon Dedman's careful curation, managed to capture the hearts of bourbon enthusiasts with limited releases that truly stood out. We unpack the challenges leading to Kentucky Owl's current predicament, we examine how Stoli's acquisition strategies may have shifted the brand's identity. Will Stoli choose to sell the brand as part of its restructuring? Show Notes: Kentucky Owl's Bankruptcy: A Reflection Future of Kentucky Owl: What Lies Ahead?

  Let's take a look at Dixon Dedman's most affordable of the 2XO (two times oak) brand, "American Oak," a whiskey which is finished a second time in HIGHLY charred barrels. Double oak or double barrel finishes have been very popular in recent years, but often the results are mixed. So much flavor is derived from the barrel, that adding a NEW freshly charred barrel to the mix can greatly affect the flavor profile, and in some instances add too much. There's also the issue with heavily flavored second barrels which essentially render the base liquid null and void because it transfers the whiskey into a sickly sweet version of itself. So, what's up with Dedman's American Oak? For starters the nose is candy corn sweet with a touch of menthol and cassis, nothing over-oaked at all, but pleasantly sweet to smell. On the palate the 92 proof spirit presents as sweet initially followed by rye spice, then oak spice. The finish is medium long, but the chewy sweet oak mid-palate is where this whiskey really shines. More than middle of the road, this really is fantastic juice that shouldn't be overlooked.

Pour a glass and settle in as we welcome the illustrious Dixon Dedman to the Scotchy Bourbon Boys podcast. Dixon, a titan of the bourbon industry, shares not just his incredible journey from Kentucky Owl to the innovative 2XO brand but also the heartfelt connections and friendships formed along the way. Our dialogue is a celebration of both the craftsmanship in bourbon-making and the genuine connections it fosters, proving that the spirit of bourbon lies not just in the bottle but in the camaraderie it creates.Together, we explore the pioneering double oak exposure process that Dixon's 2XO brand employs, enhancing the already rich tapestry of flavors found in American whiskey. Our conversation ventures into the often thorny underbrush of market trends and speculative investment, with Dixon offering his sage perspective on the evolving landscape. We navigate through the challenges of blending, aiming to hit that sweet spot of affordability and complexity that makes a bourbon not just a collector's trophy but a shared treasure among friends.As we draw our bourbon barrels of wisdom to a close, Dixon reflects on the importance of personal relationships and a hands-on approach in building a lasting legacy in the bourbon industry. The heart of our discussion is the passion that goes into every bottle, the pride in sharing a drink that's been crafted with love, and the friendships that are strengthened over a shared glass.

Man, do I love me some double oaked whiskey!  It seems that most whiskey drinkers feel the same way.I am about to review another one - 2XO American Oak.  And, I can't wait!Dixon Dedman, the original creator of Kentucky Owl before the brand was purchased by Stoli in 2017, is behind 2XO.  His American Oak is positioned as the affordable option in the 2XO line.  They are "twice-oaking" the whiskey by inserting 8-10-foot charred oak chains into the barrel, which equate to about 75% of the surface of a new barrel.How well will this process work?  Well, let's see!Specs:Age Statement:  5-6 yearsMashbill:  Undisclosed92 proofPrice MSRP: $49.99Call or Text the show at 941-301-8503!Get your official Whiskey Straight Up Merchandise: https://whiskeystraightup.com/shop/View all our videos: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUfOZSqSw1U2HGAy7Jz_uSgOur website: https://whiskeystraightup.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/whiskeystraightupInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/whiskeystraightup/

As master blending, old school rap loving, bourbon tasting machines go, Dixon Dedman is one of the best. Today we highlight some of his latest work. 

Dixon Dedman, founder of 2XO - "Two Times Oak" Whiskey, joins us today to explain why his award-winning blends will, in the words of Spinal Tap's Nigel Tufnel, "Take it to Eleven!" "Two Times Oak" is a blending process Dixon pioneered, where he re-barrels his hand-selected aged whiskey into new charred oak barrels. The result is intense wood notes and extraordinarily rich, complex flavors. Will these blends take it to 10? Well, sure. But sometimes you need.. "one more!" What makes 2XO 'American Oak' Special: The first of the "Oak" series with an innovative double oak technique. Dixon introduces additional charred oak to barrels with a moderate amount of rye in the mashbill. American Oak moves from sweet, rich butterscotch on the front, to savory roasted nutty notes in the middle, finishing with a lingering mild spice. It is very approachable and perfect for cocktails. Dixon Dedman has been turning heads for years as a blender using innovative techniques for adding flavor and complexity to his robust bourbon and rye blends.

Every once in a while you run across a brand that has captured lightening in a bottle. For me, I see that as Old Carter. Mark and Sherri Carter join the show to talk about their extensive background in the wine industry, but how bourbon eventually captured his interest and became a new passion. Though he knew how to build a highly-rated wine brand, entering the bourbon world brought fresh challenges. Mark and Sherri connected with Dixon Dedman and launched Kentucky Owl until it sold. After the sale, they stayed focused on super premium bourbons to target whiskey aficionados. If a barrel didn't suit their ideal flavor profile, they would put it back in the rick rather than compromise quality. But it's not a complete story without a bit of legal trouble and the Carter name has been no stranger to lawsuits so stick around to hear that one. Show Notes: Above the Char with Fred Minnick (@fredminnick) talks about infinity blends You had a big background in wine but when did bourbon come into your life? Did you know how to build a wine brand and what attributes to a 100 point wine? How did you end up getting connected with Dixon Dedman? How do you compete in the wine world? What happens when you have a bad vintage? After Kentucky Owl sold to Stoli, when did you want to start your own brand? Why did you continue going with the super premium route? If a barrel doesn't fit your profile and blend, what do you do with it? What was your marketing approach and how did you capture the whiskey geek? What's your sweet spot for your releases and how you choose your whiskeys? How many times have you been sued with the Carter name? @oldcarterwhiskeyco @oldsherricarter @markcarter52 Support this podcast on Patreon

The Innkeeper's Blend pays homage to the Dedman family's century-plus history in the hospitality industry, as previous owners of the famed Beaumont Inn on Kentucky's Bourbon Trail. The Innkeeper's Blend mouthfeel is viscous and rich, moving from caramel sweetness on the front, to ripe red fruit in the middle, finishing with a light, peppery spice. About 2XO 2XO is a new whiskey brand from renowned blender Dixon Dedman. 2XO, meaning Two Times Oak, refers to Dixon's unique blending process where he re-barrels his hand-selected whiskey into new charred oak barrels to create a unique combination of intense flavors, character, and complexity with each blend. The 2XO brand will consist of a series of limited-time small batch offerings (Icon Series), a series of single barrel releases (Gem of Kentucky Series), and an everyday blend offering (Oak Series). Each small batch blend in the Icon Series bares a distinctive name and symbol inspired by Dixon's passion to innovate, collaborate, and create high quality whiskeys with unique characteristics and profiles. The Innkeeper's Blend will be followed by the third release in the Icon Series, The Tribute Blend, the first blend in the Oak Series, American Oak, and the first single barrel, limited time release from the Gem of Kentucky Series. About Dixon Dedman Dixon Dedman is a 41-year-old blender who has quickly established himself as one of the most prolific American whiskey blenders in the industry known for his high-proof, robust Kentucky Owl bourbon and rye blends. He grew up on the whiskey trail infusing the learnings from industry legends with his culinary expertise from running his previously owned James Beard award winning Beaumont Inn. His credentials are unsurpassed among high-end whisky retailers, writers, and collectors. He's a foodie, a wine connoisseur, runs marathons, and is a sneakerhead who connects with a broad range of drinkers, from millennials to boomers.

Welcome to the Boozebuddy Update. For you Boozebuddies today I have - Fever Tree Mix Up, Never Lacking Lagers, & Underdog Upstart Whiskey Fever Tree Ffff... Mix Up - or is this intentional? I told You about Fever Tree's Mixers that were released recently in the UK (https://youtube.com/shorts/p1sb5SoKfFA) - If you don't recall they were an Espresso Martini, Margarita, and Mojito. I said we needed answers, but now I have more questions. Fever Tree announced for the US a Bloody Mary Mixer, Classic Margarita Mixer, and Light Margarita Mixer. Get the details on the new US mixers at the link https://tinyurl.com/224v6mgy Never Lacking Lagers, with this list of the delectable and crushable beers. Löwenbräu is probably one of the most classic beers on here. Jack's Abbey House Lager is a classic new brew, the same goes for Firestone Walker's Pivo Pils. Old Aggie, Moonlight Brewing Co's Death and Taxes, and a Schwarzbier called Yellowhammer Midnight Special are here too. The list doesn't end there though and why should it? Get them all at the link https://tinyurl.com/2con58es The Boozebuddy Update is brought to you by Green Mountain Payments - helping local business owners save thousands of dollars by providing complimentary credit card processing equipment and zero cost credit card processing. Visit greenmountainpayments.com or posandzero.com today! Underdog Upstart Whiskey competes. That's the word on Dixon Dedman's new 2XO whiskey brand, that's said to stand up against much higher-priced bottles of bourbon. Dedman was the master blender and cofounder of Kentucky Owl & left a few years after Stoli acquired the brand. As the story goes “The name 2XO means “two times oak.” Admittedly, the palate punch that results isn't for everyone.

To complete our trilogy of Pick Your Pick games provided by our buddy and magician Ty Gallenbeck, we taste through 4 samples of high proof bourbon to try and find the same picked by us. In this case, it's the blend created at WWB4 by Will, Dixon Dedman, James Smith, Chad Perkins, and Dan Shook. Then, after the 15, we try Jim Beam Lineage. This is a 15 year old limited release from Jim Beam at 111 proof. 

In this episode, we are joined by Dixon Dedman of 2XO Whiskey.  Dixon has become a prominent figure in the whiskey community.  He revived Kentucky Owl, learned how to blend whiskey, became very successful doing it, sold the brand, consulted for many brands, and started his new blending adventure - 2XO Whiskey.  All by the time he was 40!! I sat down with Dixon to discuss it all.  We hit on all parts of his journey through the business.  We also chat a lot about 2XO and what he has in store for the brand. This is one you don't want to miss! Feel free to reach out to me in the comments with any questions you might have!

The guys sit down with a nice bottle of The Phoenix Blend and talk to 2XO master whiskey blender Dixon Dedman. Known for reviving Kentucky Owl, which is now owned by Stoli, The Phoenix Blend is Dedman's re-entry into the bourbon world after he left from Kentucky Owl, a brand founded in 1879 by his great-great-grandfather, Charles Mortimer Dedman. Dixon Dedman relaunched Kentucky Owl in 2014, and the brand was acquired by Stoli in 2017. Make sure to give the show a review on Apple, Spotify, and Google. Thank you for listening and cheers!

We're so excited to be welcoming Swan back this week for a surprise appearance, and to get into the newest release from 2XO! Their newest bourbon, The Innkeeper's Blend, showcases and honors  founder Dixon Dedman's upbringing at The Beaumont Inn in Harrodsburg, Kentucky while treasuring his family's long history of fine whiskey making. We give it the full review treatment and drink some truly phenomenal bourbon (and a port?) along the way. Enjoy.

The stock market and the bourbon market share one thing in common. They are both impossible to time. If you get in at the right time, maybe you don't have to wait tens of years to make a return on your investment, but if you're too late then you could see a decline. However, in bourbon, there seems to be one person that has time working in his favor, and that's Dixon Dedman. We invite Dixon to come on the show for a third appearance to talk about a few things because it seems like his timing is always perfect. He sold Kentucky Owl to Stoli after being on the market a short period of time, but now that he is officially done with Kentucky Owl we ask him about how he feels and what he learned through the process. After leaving Stoli, he worked with The Brindiamo Group, who we also had on the podcast back on episode 182, and he worked for them for a short period of time where he got an inside glimpse into brand and investment consulting. And now, he's launching his own brand called 2XO which is perfect in this current climate when bourbon is hot and double barreling might be even hotter. Show Notes: Above the Char with Fred Minnick (@fredminnick) talks about rubbing whiskey on your hands to nose. Are you still making fried chicken on the weekends? Do you have any regrets after selling Kentucky Owl to Stoli? What did you take away and learn from working with Stoli? How did your relationship with Brindiamo begin? How many barrels are there on the open market where people are flipping them? What profiles or types of bourbon do you like to work with? Is 2XO and Kentucky Owl going to be similar or different? Is there a healthy pipeline of barrels to continue building the brand? @dixon_dedman Support this podcast on Patreon

I am finally sitting down with a bottle of Dixon Dedman's 2XO “The Phoenix Blend”.  This blend takes some sourced whiskey that Dixon blended and finishes it in a secondary barrel.  Two times oaked - hence “2XO”.I really enjoyed some of Dixon's Kentucky Owl batches, but this is a new venture.  I didn't know what to expect when opening this one up.  Check out the full review to hear why reaction while tasting this pour!YOU can text the show at 941-301-8503!Get your official Whiskey Straight Up Merchandise: https://whiskeystraightup.com/shop/Get better help with BetterHelp!

The first thing I ever tasted that felt like it would elevate bourbon beyond what I had grown up to understand was a double oaked bourbon. It added a complexity and depth that some part of my lizard brain had been seeking for a very long time. Since then it's evolved into Oak finishing, French Oak, etc. When 2XO was announced I immediately knew whatever would come out of the brand would be amazing. Dixon has that kind of reputation and I also knew I needed to have him on. Today we'll chat Dixon, 2XO and anything else he happens to let me ask about.

The Kentucky Owl Part II -- the rest of the story on the state's fastest-growing and most influential podcast with Dixon Dedman.

On this week’s episode, The Bourbon Lens travels to the historic Beaumont Inn in Harrodsburg, KY to sit down with Kentucky Owl Co-founder, Dixon Dedman. Dixon resurrected his great-great grandfather, Charles Mortimer Dedman’s whiskey brand that had fallen victim to prohibition in the early 1900’s. The Kentucky Owl name laid dormant until Dixon had the idea to revitalize the family brand.  Kick back and enjoy our conversation with Dixon, as we talk about growing up in his family’s Beaumont Inn, and the historic relevance of this Inn that his family has owned since 1919. Hear Dixon’s interesting tales of his great-great grandfather, C.M. Dedman, and what inspired him to bring back a brand that had been a family ghost for nearly 100 years. Dixon talks about what it takes to masterfully blend excellent whiskey and what the partnership with the SPI Group means for Kentucky Owl. We had a lot of fun sharing some pours with Dixon at the Beaumont Inn, we hope you enjoy the conversation too, Cheers!

Have you caught yourself saying you want to do Kentucky Owl full time? Talk a bit about the blends and batches What is the ultimate goal in how you can take something and scale it for blending? Why have different batches and not have something consistent? Give everyone a refresher on the bourbon process for re-barreling How long are you re-aging? How often are you putting out new batches? What are we doing different with Batch 8 vs Batch 7? Why start the Rye release? Do you want the bourbon to become as big as the rye release? How many bottles were in the Rye release?

After picking a barrel of Weller Antique earlier in the day, Will, the Greeze, Chris from MADE SOUTH, Joe Bourbon, along with Chris Veal, Phil Sokic and "Toad", are hosted by Dixon Dedman at the famed Beaumont Inn in Harrodsburg, KY for a brown bag taste off. There are 7 bourbons, plus some surprises along the way. Easily one of the best PodCask nights ever.   

Steve, Kaitlyn and Jeremy talk to Dixon Dedman, Master Blender for Kentucky Owl. Dixon gets into his family history, his iconic brand and the future home of his distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky. He even shares some scoop with the audience that listeners of The Bourbon Show are the first to hear! The Bourbon Show music (Whiskey on the Mississippi) is by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com).

  The very first episode of WhiskyCast was on November 12, 2005, and twelve years later, we've been around long enough to have an age statement! Back on that first episode, the idea that someone would invest $150 million to build a new Bourbon distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky probably would have been good for a few laughs, since the Bourbon boom was in its infancy. Now, that $150 million dollar distillery project isn't just a reality, but the third new distillery to be built in Bardstown. Stoli Group broke ground this week on its new Kentucky Owl Park in Bardstown, less than a year after buying the boutique Bourbon brand from Dixon Dedman. His great-great grandfather started making Kentucky Owl in 1879, and Prohibition killed the brand for nearly a century before Dixon Dedman revived it in 2014. Dedman joined Stoli Group as its master blender as part of the deal, and he'll share his family's story with us on this week's WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, Dedman's new distillery is part of a much larger project that will reshape Bardstown's future, while part of Lexington's distilling past is about to come back to life. We'll also look at the week's new whiskies and taste one of the rarest single malts around to celebrate 12 years of WhiskyCast!

In this bonus episode, we take you to the Southern Whiskey Society event, which happened on Aug. 5, 2017. You hear from our friends Chad and Sara from It's Bourbon Night, Chef Cole Ellis, Chef Jean Paul Bourgeois, Dixon Dedman of Kentucky Owl, and Chris Thomas from Made South. You'll hear the guys go 0-60 in a Tesla with Dixon Dedman, eat delicious food, and drink delicious whiskey. 

Steve, Evan and Jeremy Schell conclude their interview with Dixon Dedman about his Kentucky Owl brand and the Beaumont Inn. The Bourbon Daily intro music (Welcome to the Show) and outro music (That’s A Wrap) are both by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com).

Dixon Dedman, Owner Operator of Beaumont Inn & Partner in Kentucky Owl, joins us to talk about his family history and how they revitalized a brand that died during prohibition. - Fantasy teams are now using high valued bourbons as entrance fees- Lets talk about you.

What got you into dealing with the brand?- Why the tag name “The Wise Man’s Bourbon”?- What made you go with a barrel proof bourbon?- How many barrels went into the particular batches?- So you take the barrels, and you dump them and put them into new charred barrels?- Is there a big difference between Batch 1 and Batch 2? What about Batch 3? (easter egg here!)- This is a KY only release. Why only KY?- How does it feel to have this craze happening?- Talk about the Old Owl Tavern on your property- Where do you sit on the Bourbon Trail?- For anyone still looking for a pour of KY Owl, can they get it at the tavern?- Adam Johnson asks, What is the secret to the General Lee cake?- How can people get in touch with you?
