“Statesville Paragon wheated single-barrel — 70/16/14 mash at cask strength (~123 this pick)”
Tasting notes
- nose
- white pepper, dusty oak, walnut shell, cherry pie — wheated sweetness under barrel spice
- palate
- intense vanilla, strong oak, orange peel, baking spice; wheat rounds the mid so cask strength feels powerful, not sharp
- finish
- crème brûlée sweetness, grassy pepper into char and dried cherry
Mash bill
- Corn70%
- Wheat16%
- Malted barley14%
House Paragon wheated mash: 70% corn, 16% wheat, and 14% malted barley — wheat softens the spice land while malted barley adds pastry body so cask-strength North Carolina oak stays drinkable.
