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.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrank 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep mahogany.
