Frank August Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon 750ml

Frank August Single Barrel is a cask-strength Kentucky straight bourbon from the Bardstown-based brand. For this second edition, 15 barrels of 6.1-year-old bourbon were chosen with help from Denny Potter and Jane Bowie, both formerly of Maker's Mark.

Each barrel is bottled at its own strength; ours is 60.4% (120.8 proof). It is big and rich, with dark caramel, cherry, toasted oak and baking spice. Every barrel is a little different, so no two bottles are quite the same.

For a cask-strength single barrel from a new Kentucky brand, this is our pick. For Frank August at 100 proof, choose Frank August Small Batch; for another barrel-proof bourbon, see E.H. Taylor Barrel Proof.

Add a few drops of water and sip it slowly.

We carry it in the 750ml size, in limited quantities. More bottles are under bourbon, and the rest of our whiskey is a click away. Pick it up at our Brooklyn store or get same-day delivery in Brooklyn, Manhattan & Queens.
