Southern Star Paragon Single Barrel Cask Strength Wheated Straight Bourbon

Thabk you so much @brandymcnamara ! Fruity and woody. Burning from the proof tamed with just a few drops of water. @Kyle-Metes-Randolph

Legit! One of the best wheated bourbons I’ve had.

Wow! After the results from the 2022 NY spirits competition I had to give it a try and man I’m glad I did. One of the best cask strength wheaters I’ve tasted. More to come after a few more pours, but I’m excited about this one, especially since it’s fairly local to me. Don’t sweat that you can’t find a Weller 107, just grab this instead!

Part of a virtual tasting with Southern Distilling Barrel No. 109 113.6 proof Nose - Chalky Big League Chew cherry/grape, caramel, toffee, cinnamon stick, vanilla frosting, toasted oak tannins, and medium ethanol. Palate - Rainier cherries, overripe peaches, caramel, vanilla frosting, clove, and oak. Finish is medium-long with dry cinnamon, vanilla bean, butterscotch, and light ethanol. This is really good stuff for an NC bourbon. I'm impressed. These barrel picks aren't common, but if you see one I recommend picking one up. Easily one of the best NC whiskey products I've tried.
