Tradition
Meets Sweet Perfection.

// Part of the Paragon collection

A tribute to craftsmanship that spans generations, Southern Star Bourbon Finished in Honey Barrels is a spirit elegant enough for a special occasion and delicious enough for a daily indulgence. A meticulous blend of local grains and a final year maturing in a wildflower honey-saturated barrel create a spectacular depth of flavor.

A few years back, a local honey producer had asked us for a barrel to age some of his honey in, to infuse it with the flavor of whiskey. After the honey had aged, they sent the barrel back to us — and the inside was still coated with honey. Of course we couldn’t let it go to waste.

We filled the barrel with one of our select bourbons that had already been aging several years, and put it in the rickhouse for another 18 months.

When we finally tasted it, we were floored. It’s elegant enough for a special occasion, but so delicious you’ll want a taste every day.
