Southern Star Cask Strength is an unfiltered, uncut straight bourbon from Southern Distilling Company in Statesville, North Carolina, bottled straight from the barrel at 111.6 proof (55.8% ABV) for this release.
It is bottled at cask strength with no added water and no chill filtration, so you taste the full complexity built during ageing, and it is blended from fewer than ten barrels to keep its high-proof character. Southern Distilling Company was founded by Pete and Vienna Barger in 2013 and is reigniting North Carolina's distilling tradition, distilling, ageing and bottling on its own 20-acre campus.
Bold and unapologetic, it is made for drinkers who want real barrel character in every sip, with the deep amber-copper glow of a long-aged, full-strength bourbon.
Its sharp label with the gold star makes it a handsome gift for bourbon lovers.
Sip it neat, then add a few drops of water.
Bourbon must be made in the United States from a mash of at least 51% corn and aged in new charred oak containers, and straight bourbon must be aged at least two years. Those rules give bourbon its characteristic sweetness, with caramel and vanilla drawn from the charred barrels.
Straight bourbon must be made in the United States from a mash of at least 51% corn and aged at least two years in new charred oak containers, with nothing added but water.
Cask strength means the bourbon is bottled at the proof it reached in the barrel, so a few drops of water can open up the caramel and spice.
Non-chill filtration keeps the natural oils of the whiskey, giving a fuller texture in the glass.
