Frank August Case Study: 06 Legacy Reserve 6 Barrel Batch
This 6-barrel blend, composed of two hand-selected barrels each from three of Kentucky's most storied distilleries, brings together 8, 9 and 10-year-old bourbons in a composition that honors legacy while embracing individuality. It's a whiskey shaped by provenance but defined by balance.
APPEARANCE
Rich amber with copper undertones. Viscous and steady, its legs reveal structure and maturity, while its color reflects the depth of seasoned oak and years of patient aging.
NOSE
Inviting and layered, the nose opens with vanilla bean, honeycomb, and caramelized pear. Beneath the sweetness lies a beam of seasoned oak; warm, structured, and unmistakably grounded. Subtle undertones of baking spices, candied fruit, and brown sugar, rise with time in the glass, revealing the depth of its age.
PALATE
Rich and expressive. Waves of butterscotch, dark toffee, and baking spice unfold slowly, balanced by roasted pecan and a hint of orange zest. Theres' a wild elegance to it, an energy that stirs beneath the surface; complex yet composed, like a story that's been passed down, but never told the same way twice.
FINISH
Long and deliberate. Echoes of toasted sugar, charred oak, and dried cherry linger, softened by a silky mouthfeel. Just as it begins to fade, a final note emerges; balanced, elevated, and quietly powerful. A finish that feels nothing short of heavenly.
