Frank August Small Batch is a Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey from Lexington, blended from 10 to 15 hand-selected barrels and bottled unfiltered at 100 proof (50% ABV).
Frank August launched in 2021 with a distinct identity. Rather than leaning on heritage or founder mythology, it frames every release around craft transparency and aesthetic precision. The name is not a person but a philosophy: frank as in honest and direct, August as in dignified and serious. The packaging reflects this, minimal, architectural and immediately recognisable on a shelf crowded with rustic nostalgia. The Small Batch is the brand's flagship, distilled, aged and bottled in Kentucky.
The nose brings baking spices, vanilla bean, caramel and soft oak. The palate opens with toffee, cinnamon, clove and roasted nuts in a medium-to-full, rounded body, and the finish lingers with toasted oak, pepper and subtle dark chocolate. It is a balanced bourbon with richness, spice and structure, without overwhelming sweetness.
With its sleek bottle, it makes a modern, elegant gift.
Enjoy it neat or in an Old Fashioned.
Bourbon must be made in the United States from a mash of at least 51% corn and aged in new charred oak containers, and straight bourbon must be aged at least two years. Those rules give bourbon its characteristic sweetness, with caramel and vanilla drawn from the charred barrels.
