Southern Star Paragon Wheated

Southern Star Paragon Wheated Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a true testament to the rich heritage of distilling in Statesville, North Carolina. Produced by Southern Distilling Company, a family-owned operation founded by Pete and Vienna Barger in 2013, this bourbon embodies the spirit of innovation and tradition. Nestled just 45 miles west of Winston-Salem, the distillery draws inspiration from Statesville’s historic reputation as the “Liquor Capital of the World” during the 1880s. Distilled, aged, and bottled entirely on-site at a 25,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art facility, Southern Star Paragon Wheated Bourbon is crafted using an 18-inch Vendome copper and brass continuous column still. The mash bill, composed of 70% corn, 16% wheat, and 14% malted barley, is designed to create a smooth and approachable bourbon. The bourbon is aged for a minimum of four years and meets the stringent Bottled-in-Bond designation, signifying its quality and consistency. The unique Statesville climate and cutting-edge distilling process contribute to Southern Star Paragon’s distinct character. By blending advanced technology with a deep respect for traditional techniques, Southern Distilling Company offers a bourbon that resonates with history while catering to the modern whiskey connoisseur.
