Frank August Small Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Description

Frank August Small Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a modern, meticulously crafted expression that has quickly become one of the most celebrated bourbons in the world. Each true small-batch release consists of only 10–15 hand-selected barrels drawn from the top 1% of aging stocks, reflecting the brand’s commitment to quality, authenticity, and a contemporary vision of what bourbon can be.

In the glass, the whiskey shows a deep auburn color with full, lingering legs. The nose opens with caramel, vanilla, warm oak, and gentle baking spices. On the palate, sweet caramel and vanilla lead before evolving into cinnamon and rye-bread spice, all carried by a balanced 100-proof structure that delivers both warmth and smoothness. Hints of brown and malt sugars emerge as it develops. The finish is medium-long, marked by vanilla, oak, and baking spices that invite another sip.

Rooted in Kentucky — from distillation to aging to bottling in Bardstown — Frank August embraces a philosophy of openness and modern storytelling, honoring tradition while pushing the category forward. With a minimalist presentation that emphasizes the spirit itself and a character reminiscent of early Blanton’s, it stands as an accessible yet premium addition to today’s bourbon landscape.
