Frank August Single Barrel Bourbon 750 ml

Frank August Single Barrel Bourbon. Frank August, Lexington, Kentucky — an expression from Frank August's ongoing single barrel program, each release a hand-selected individual cask bottled at its natural cask strength proof, built on the brand's philosophy of open, honest bourbon that unites heritage with modernity and showcases what a single exceptional Kentucky barrel produces without blending or dilution.

Frank August's single barrel program is built on a rigorous selection process: master distillers and master blenders with collectively deep industry experience evaluate candidate barrels and select only those that meet the standard of quality and character the Frank August name demands. Each selected barrel is then bottled individually at its natural cask strength — the proof on the label is the proof that specific barrel produced over its years of Kentucky aging, not a target number achieved through dilution.

The result is a bourbon with an expansive, authentic story that belongs to the individual barrel. Deep mahogany color with beautiful baking spices on the nose, cask strength intensity balanced by vanilla and caramel, and a long, satisfying finish that continues to develop between sips. For those who want the Frank August philosophy expressed at its most individual and direct, the single barrel program is where it is most clearly realized.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Deep mahogany. Baking spices and mild oak open first before sweet vanilla and caramel aromatics develop. Inviting and rich at cask strength.
• Palate: Cinnamon and rye spice lead with vanilla and caramel balance. The cask strength intensity is present but controlled, with good integration between the spice and sweet elements.
• Finish: Long and balanced, continuing to develop between each taste. Baking spice, hints of black cherry, subtle oak, and vanilla persist through a satisfying close.
