Frequently Asked Questions
Is Southern Star Cask Strength Straight Bourbon Whiskey the same as barrel proof?
Yes. “Cask strength” and “barrel proof” both mean the whiskey is bottled at the strength it comes out of the barrel, with no dilution. This barrel-proof bourbon is made for drinkers who want maximum flavor and intensity.
What does unfiltered mean for this bourbon?
This is an unfiltered bourbon, meaning it isn’t chill filtered. That helps keep more of the whiskey’s natural oils and compounds, which can add body, aroma, and a more authentic barrel character.
How should I drink a cask strength bourbon like this?
Start neat if you like big flavor, then add a few drops of water to find your sweet spot. You can also pour it over a large ice cube for a slower chill, or use it in cocktails when you want a cask strength bourbon that won’t fade behind mixers.
