Southern Star Paragon Cask Strength Single Barrel Wheated Bourbon

Description

Since Southern Star doesn’t disclose the exact mash bill or aging time, the specific taste profile can vary slightly. However, based on being a wheated bourbon and bottled at cask strength, expect a unique and flavorful experience:

Smooth Wheated Character

Wheat replaces a portion of the rye typically found in bourbon, resulting in a smoother and more approachable mouthfeel.

Spice & Herbs

Hints of peppery spice and herbaceous notes are common in wheated bourbons, adding complexity to the sweetness.

Vanilla & Oak

Aging in charred oak barrels contributes notes of vanilla bean, caramel, and maybe even a touch of coconut.

Cask Strength Impact

Bottling at cask strength means the bourbon is unfiltered and uncut. This can amplify the flavors, potentially making the spice and oak influence more noticeable compared to a standard bottled proof bourbon.
