Frank August Case Study: 05 "Wheated Reserve 5 Barrel Batch" Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
(750 mL)

Distillery Notes:

Frank August's first-ever wheated  bourbon: Case Study: 05 Wheated Reserve 5 Barrel Batch, the fifth expression in the brand’s Case Study series. 

Case Study: 05 features a blend of five barrels of Kentucky Straight Wheated Bourbon Whiskey, aged between 6-plus and 7-plus years. With only eight batches produced, the 104.5 proof bourbon offers a limited-edition experience. 

Tasting Notes:

Appearance: Warm chestnut wih golden edges. In the glass, it forms slow, graceful legs that suggest a smooth, full-bodied texture.

Nose: Soft and inviting, with aromas of vanilla bean, baked apple and toasted marshmallow. Beneath that, layers of honeyed graham cracker, subtle oak, and a touch of baking spice.

Palate: Rich and rounded flavors of caramel, toffee and sweet cornbread are balanced by soft baking spice and a hint of dark cherry. The wheat lends a creamy mouthfeel, smoothing out the edges and allowing the sweetness to shine.

Finish: Long, mellow and warming. Notes of vanilla custard and light oak linger, with just enough spice to keep it structured and balanced. The proof carries through with a gentle persistence, never overpowering.
