I grew up here, and it\u2019s where my wife Vienna and I have raised our family and started our business. We\u2019re proud to have grown tremendously and earned national recognition, and it\u2019s a privilege to celebrate our success alongside the Panthers in this way. I can\u2019t wait for us to share this release honoring the 2003 team \u2014 and I\u2019ll be keeping a bottle on hand to raise a glass to future success, too!\u201d<\/p>\n<p><cite>~ Southern Distilling co-founder and CEO Pete Barger<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Look, I had no idea people celebrated winning the conference championship in the NFL. I thought participation <s>trophies<\/s> pennants were only a baseball thing. I\u2019m fully on board for celebrating anything, though, when it results in creating a limited edition Panthers whiskey \u2013 especially when it\u2019s as good as Southern Star Paragon.<\/p>\n<p>Paragon is my happy place for wheated bourbon, so this project was right up my alley. It saw six barrels hand-picked by a group including Southern Distilling founders, Panthers reps, and others. Each has its own unique character, but they\u2019re all high-proof with a nice throughline of spiciness,  vanilla, honey, and nuttiness. The whiskeys were bottled at cask strength, resulting in a little under 1,000 bottles. If you don\u2019t get a chance to grab one from the distillery or a local ABC store, it sounds like they\u2019re already cooking up the next Pathers collaboration for the 30th anniversary of the team.<\/p>\n<p>My only advice, should you find a bottle of Panthers whiskey, is to ignore their motto. This isn\u2019t a time to, \u201cKeep Pounding.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/southerndistillingcompany.com\/our-spirits\/southern-star-paragon-single-barrel-carolina-panthers-limited-edition\/\"><strong>Southern Star Paragon, Panthers Commemorative Edition<\/strong><\/a> \u2013\u00a0$100<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Upcoming bottle signings<\/h4>\n<p>Southern Distilling Company\u2019s co-founder<em> <\/em>Pete Barger and a special surprise guest will be on hand for bottle signings in two stores.
