Frank August Small Batch Bourbon 750mL

Hailing from Bardstown, Kentucky, Frank August is a “micro-bottler” that prioritizes intention and aesthetic in equal measure. Each small batch is a meticulous blend of just 10 to 15 barrels, reportedly pulled from the top 1% of their aging stock. The result is a spirit that feels remarkably tailored—sophisticated, balanced, and remarkably “frank.”

The presentation alone is worth the price of admission: a minimalist, heavy-bottomed glass decanter with a milled metal stopper that feels substantial in the hand. But it’s what’s inside that truly sings. Bottled at a sturdy 100 proof, this is a “Gold Outstanding” award-winner that drinks with a grace typically reserved for much older, much more expensive bottles.
