The Paragon series captures the distinct essence of a traditional North Carolina whiskey: it is distilled, aged and bottled on site from local grains, using a wheated mash bill of 70% corn, 16% wheat and 14% malted barley.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWheat in place of rye gives a smoother, sweeter profile than a traditional rye-recipe bourbon, and at cask strength, with no water added and no chill filtration, it keeps an exceptionally rich, unctuous texture and the full complexity built during ageing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA bold taste of North Carolina, it makes a great gift for wheated bourbon fans.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it neat, then add a few drops of water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBourbon 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStraight bourbon must be aged at least two years in new charred oak containers, with nothing added but water; cask strength means it is bottled at the proof it reached in the barrel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWheated bourbons use wheat as the secondary grain instead of rye, which softens the spice and lets caramel and vanilla lead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Southern Distilling Company\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wheated Straight Bourbon, cask strength, unfiltered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMash Bill:\u003c\/strong\u003e 70% corn, 16% wheat, 14% malted barley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 106.6 proof (53.3% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Statesville, North Carolina, United States\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it neat, then add a few drops of water.
