Frank August, based in Kentucky, launched Case Study as a platform for experimentation, with each numbered release exploring a single idea in small batches. This edition returns to the same lots that produced Case Study: 05, the brand's first wheated release, but narrows the selection to barrels distilled only during the winter months, then gives them extra time in oak. It carries an 8-year age statement, though the whiskey is closer to nine years old. The release was assembled as eight batches of eight hand-selected barrels each, and each batch is bottled at barrel strength of 108.8 proof. Wheat replaces rye as the secondary grain, giving a soft, creamy, rounded character, while the added age brings depth and structure. It is presented in Frank August's minimalist custom decanter with a glass stopper, designed to be kept and reused. Expect a nose of vanilla custard, caramel, baked pastry and ripe orchard fruit. The palate is rich and creamy, with honey, brown sugar, cinnamon, toasted bread and soft oak. The finish is long, warming and elegant, with vanilla custard, toasted oak and gentle spice. Enjoy it neat or with a few drops of water to open the pastry and fruit notes, or in a rich Old Fashioned or Manhattan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eABV \/ Proof\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eABV\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e54.4%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProof\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e108.8 (barrel strength)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e750ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCountry\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnited States\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRegion\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKentucky\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKentucky Straight Wheated Bourbon Whiskey\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8 years (closer to 9)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSelection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWinter-distilled barrels; 8 batches of 8 barrels\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSeries\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCase Study: 08\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProducer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrank August\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep amber.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vanilla custard, caramel, baked pastry and orchard fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich and creamy, with honey, brown sugar, cinnamon and soft oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long and elegant, with vanilla custard, toasted oak and spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is Case Study: 08?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe eighth Case Study release and Frank August's second wheated bourbon, selected from winter-distilled barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow old is it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt carries an 8-year age statement but is closer to nine years old.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat proof is it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBarrel strength, 108.8 proof (54.4% ABV).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does it relate to Case Study: 05?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt comes from the same lots as Case Study: 05, with a narrower winter-only selection and extra age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it a wheated bourbon?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
