Southern Star Paragon Cask Strength Bourbon Williquors Private Barrel Selection, New Charred Oak Cask, Cask #333, 54.3%

The medium-to-long finish stands out, with oak barrel char, roasted corn, burnt sugars, and warming spice. Caramel and vanilla carry through the palate, while the balanced heat keeps the sweetness from being the only thing on offer.
