Frank August Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon is a remarkable limited release that reflects the pinnacle of Kentucky whiskey craftsmanship. For this second edition, Frank August drew from their growing library of exceptional barrels, partnering with some of the most respected master distillers and blenders in the industry. Together, they hand-selected just 15 outstanding barrels—each bottled at cask strength between 114.6 and 125.4 proof, and aged to perfection for 6.1 years.
Appearance: A deep, rich auburn coats the glass with full, viscous legs, signaling both elegance and body.
Nose: The aroma opens with a complex interplay of warm baking spices, rich oak, and ripe fruit, gradually giving way to layers of creamy vanilla and bittersweet cacao.
Palate: On the first sip, cinnamon leads the charge, followed by an emergence of rye spice that envelops the palate. Despite its robust proof, the heat is beautifully balanced by sweet vanilla and caramel, echoing notes from the nose.
Finish: Long and evolving, the finish carries forward baking spices alongside hints of black cherry and cacao, all wrapped in delicate oak and smooth vanilla undertones.
Bottled at its natural strength, Frank August Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon offers an unapologetically bold yet refined drinking experience. Best savored neat or with a splash of water to reveal its layered complexity, it is a true collector’s piece for the serious bourbon enthusiast.
