Frank August 7 Year Single Barrel Cask Strength Kentucky Straight Bourbon is crafted from individually selected barrels chosen for standout character, structure, and depth. Each release is bottled straight from the cask with no dilution, filtration, or proofing, letting natural barrel strength shine through. Proof varies by barrel, typically ranging from the mid-114s to the mid-125s, reflecting differences in evaporation and maturation — this specific release (Barrel No. 0132) is aged 7.9 years and bottled at 117 proof.
As a true single-barrel expression, every batch delivers its own combination of oak influence, fruit sweetness, and warm spice, with a rich amber, copper-toned appearance reflecting its years of patient aging.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does "single barrel" mean here?
Each bottle comes from one individually selected barrel rather than a blend, bottled straight from the cask with no dilution or filtration, so proof and flavor vary slightly by barrel.
What does this release taste like?
Expect caramelized sugar, vanilla, and toasted oak on the nose, with full-bodied caramel, dark cherry, and roasted pecan on the palate, finishing long with vanilla, dark fruit, and spice.
