Frank August Bourbon Case Study: 01 Mizsunara Japanese Oak Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whisky Tasting Notes

Nose: "Opens with an initial note of butterscotch before some mild rye spices make their way forward."

Palate: "There’s an immediate warm, smooth, butterscotch prof ile that hits the front of your tongue, before slowly moving toward the mid-palate, where notes of apple and mild spices begin to pick up. As the whiskey coats the mouth, and moves to the back of your tongue, there’s hints of mint and pepper, before notes of butterscotch and caramel make their return."

Finish: "A beautiful pronounced finish that evolves with the time between each drink. While notes of butterscotch persist, the strength of the 114.4 proof provides an ideal balance that warms your mouth and chest and highlights some of the softer baking spice notes."

Distillery Information

"So that's the story that we want to tell, that's the conversation that we want to create around the brand. And the name itself represents that story. Um, Frank August isn't a real person. Frank is inspired by one of my business partner's late father, and August is the middle name of my other business partner's son."
