Southern Star Paragon Bourbon Whiskey

Southern Star Paragon Bourbon Whiskey is a wheated bourbon distilled, aged, and bottled at Southern Distilling Company in Statesville, North Carolina, from a mash of 70% corn, 16% wheat, and 14% malted barley. Wheat in the mash softens the sip toward vanilla, honey, and walnut, and it is bottled at 92 proof so those flavors stay clear without a heavy cut. Pour it when you are sipping with friends.

Ripe apple and fruity florals open onto vanilla, honey, and a little chocolate. Walnut and a soft, rich texture keep it from reading as candy. A gentle bite of oak and grain rides a medium finish that stays easy at this proof.
