Part of a virtual tasting with Southern Distilling
**this should be labeled as Paragon Bottled in Bond
Nose - Sweet grain and grass, vanilla, Cherry Coke, caramel, butterscotch, cinnamon, allspice, toasted oak, and light ethanol.
Palate - Honeycomb, artificial cherry vanilla flavoring, cinnamon stick, cardamon, clove, and toasted marshmallow. Finish is medium with dry cinnamon powder, oak tannins, caramel, vanilla bean, and light ethanol.
Much, much better than the previous two samples. This wheated BiB is something I would buy and competes favorably with other wheated bourbons.

@BDanner It's good, but I'd rather just go for the cask strength if they're similar price.
I definitely need to try the BIB. I've enjoyed the Single Barrel and the Regular Proof releases. I've just been hesitant due to the $70 price tag. I hate I wasn't able to stop in when they were in town with samples a week or so ago.
