"Barley wine Aged in bourbon barrels for one year

A holiday ode to our barrel-aged barley wine, Hipster for Christmas initially hits you with intense caramel and the inherited barrel notes of bourbon, coconut, vanilla, chocolate, dried fruits, toffee, and a little cinnamon bun to finish off your Christmas spirit. "

"Off the Rack Paragon represents the finest barley wine we have to offer. After ageing in Tennessee whiskey barrels for 16 months, we selected only our favourite barrels for this edition. Coconut, vanilla, bourbon, toffee, prunes, chocolate, oak, and caramel all interplay to deep complexity while remaining in balance with one another. Serving at room temperature allows even more layered nuances to shine through."

"Paragon 2021 showcases our patient and considered approach to tending nearly 60 different bourbon barrels for over 12 months. This edition of our distinguished barley wine displays strong notes of caramel and oak-ageing with hints of tabacco, fruit cake and vanilla. The finish is distinctly bourbon forward and complex with a balanced bitterness and perceived sweetness that gives way to a warming sensation from the 13.8% alcohol."

"The era of a new king is dawning. Long live King Rufus the barley wine which reigns supreme with an impressive 15.6% ABV. An aficionado beer for the rumbustious, the complex malts and light use of hops imbue this English Barleywine with a bellicosity that borders on belligerent. As you take your first sip, you’ll be greeted by a symphony of malty sweetness, dark fruits, and a subtle hint of alcohol. Warming and supple this big beer fuels your soul for the dark days of winter and leaves you in awe of the king’s dominion. Cheers to the king of barleywines!"

"Over the years, Paragon has become one of our flagship beers. What makes our barley wine special is that it is always brewed with the exact same recipe, but each edition is unique due to a number of factors, barrel types and environmental factors to say it briefly. In 2023, we used fresh, high-char Jim Beam barrels in which the beer matured for one year. We think the result is pretty awesome and can best be described as a Kentucky hug. Enjoy – it's a great year for Paragon "

"We often leave a few exceptional barrels from previous batches to use in our Off The Rack series. This year, we have selected a few ripe barrels from 2022 and 2023. Tasting great, we decided to create an OTR blend of vintages for this year’s version. We took our best barrels with the higher ABV due to the angels’ share that has evaporated over the year in Jim Beam barrels and infused them with the almost 3-year-old Heaven Hill-aged Paragon 22. There are a lot more deep notes of caramel and toffee, dried fruit, and even a subtle liquorice note, finished with a seriously nice mouthfeel that fills your palate with oaky, bourbony warmth. Cheers!"
