Frank August Single Barrel is a cask strength Kentucky straight bourbon from one of the most striking new names in American whiskey, a brand built around minimalist design and letting the liquid speak for itself. Presented in Frank August's signature contemporary decanter, this is an individually selected single barrel, hand chosen for its standout character, structure, and depth, then bottled straight from the cask with no dilution, filtration, or proofing. Because it is a true single barrel bottled at natural cask strength, the proof varies from barrel to barrel, typically landing somewhere in the mid 114s to the mid 125s, with each barrel delivering its own unique balance of oak, fruit, and spice. This bottling carries a five year age statement. It pours a deep copper auburn with full, viscous legs, and opens with a range of beautiful baking spices alongside notes of oak and fruit, before vanilla and cacao emerge. The palate is full bodied and richly spiced, with cinnamon leading into warm rye spice, layered over caramel, dark cherry, roasted pecan, and deep oak grain, the cask strength intensity exceptionally balanced by sweet vanilla and caramel. The finish is long and balanced, developing black cherry, cocoa, pepper, and lingering oak as the heat gently wanes. A connoisseur's pour and a beautiful object on the bar, it is best enjoyed neat or with a few drops of water to open it up.
