Frank August Straight Bourbon Whiskey Case Study: 04 Double Oaked

Frank August Case Study: 04 is a special edition whiskey that combines both Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey and Rye Whiskey. The whiskey is "4X Oaked," meaning it has been aged in oak barrels multiple times, contributing to a deeper and more complex flavor. This program exemplifies Frank August's commitment to evolving and elevating the character of American whiskey and serves as a creative platform for experimenting and introducing new, high-quality expressions . CASE STUDY: 04 represents this pursuit at its highest level. CASE STUDY: 04 is a blend of double oaked
KSBW and double oaked KSRW. Each 4-barrel batch is blended with 2x double oaked KSBW barrels and 2x double oaked KSRW barrels, inspiring the designation '4X Oaked'.
What makes this release so distinctive is the "PROOFED IN BARREL" process the brand has introduced with this expression.

Instead of proofing in tanks prior to bottling, at the time of the 2nd barrel fill, Frank August "PROOFED IN BARREL," so at the point of maturation, each barrel would be 95 proof. Each secondary barrel was then aged an additional 12-14 months before being dumped and batched. The result is a beautiful, full, and complex whiskey. This considered process underscores Frank August's dedication to crafting distinctive and innovative "one-of-one" expressions of American whiskey.
