I’ve been wanting to get my hands on a bottle of Southern Star Paragon Cask Strength for over a year now, but I live in Colorado, so that has made the acquisition a bit difficult. I was finally able to get a bottle, thanks to a friend who recently took a trip to NC and brought me back a bottle. Boy were my expectations exceeded! What a pour! Nose: Warm, buttery brown sugar and molasses, a little cherry, toasted oak/marshmallow. Palate: Creamy caramel, vanilla, light plum/raisin, all coated with a sweet, rich oak. Phenomenal. Finish: Dark, rich, and long, in the best way. Just like how you feel right after finishing two slices of pecan pie at Thanksgiving. Rating: 9/10 (An all-time favorite.) This bourbon is nearly dessert in a glass. It has every bit of sweetness you want from a wheated bourbon without pushing it too far. No young or “crafty” notes observed at all. This is legitimately one of the best bourbons I’ve had, easily standing its ground against older, more expensive bottles in my collection. Because of this, I just HAD to put it in a blind. I am a big fan of Weller Antique 107, it’s easily one of my top ten bourbons. I blinded this bottle of Paragon Cask Strength (106.5 proof) against Weller Antique 107 and Paragon won, quickly and easily. Admittedly, I was immediately aware of which was which, as I drink Weller 107 often, but I absolutely preferred the Paragon hands down. I don’t think I’ll be spending very much money on Weller from here on out. I’m just going to have to buy this stuff by the case whenever I visit my family in NC.

We visited Southern Distilling for a tour and afterwards, we ended up staying in the tasting room for over an hour. We were treated like VIPs by the staff and tasted some phenomenal single barrel offerings, as well as the best old fashioned cocktail that I have ever had. The staff and the offerings at Southern Distilling are both exceptional, and we continued to be treated like VIPs after our visit when the Chief Marketing Officer reached out to us to thank us for our feedback and to welcome us back anytime.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the distillery. The facility was beautiful and impeccably clean. The spirits they produce are of high quality, and the cocktails they offer are delicious. The tour was well worth our time, and our guide, Joe, did an outstanding job. His knowledge of bourbon and its history in North Carolina was impressive and greatly appreciated. I certainly plan to return.

I have picked up a few of these bottles and have been super happy. Sadly out of the 3 bottles I have had 2 of the corks have come completely apart when opening them. I hope a local spot like this keeps making great stuff and invests in continuing improvement! Will keep buying this when it’s available!

Wonderful tour with so much history and knowledge about their products. 40 foot tall distillation unit. Using corn, wheat, or rye. Taste testing at the end. Farm machines as it takes farmers to produce the grains.
