APPEARANCE
A deep auburn with full, viscous legs that glaze the glass.
NOSE
Frank August's Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon opens with a range of beautiful baking spices and notes of oak and fruit, before elements of vanilla and cacao begin to present themselves.
PALATE
The baking spices are more pronounced, with cinnamon coming forward initially, before rye spices begin to gradually introduce themselves, warmly coating your mouth. At 121 proof, there's an intensity that is exceptionally balanced by some of the sweet vanilla and caramel notes you initially pick up on the nose.
FINISH
A long balanced finish that continues to develop between each taste. As the cask strength begins to wane, you'll continue to pick up baking spices and hints of black cherries and cacao, layered between subtle notes of oak and vanilla.
