Product Overview
Frank August Case Study: 05 Wheated Reserve – 5 Barrel
An Experimental Expression of Elegance.
From the meticulously curated Case Study series, Frank August Wheated Reserve: 05 presents a limited, 5-barrel exploration into the softer, more nuanced side of American whiskey. This small-batch wheated bourbon replaces the traditional rye spice with wheat, resulting in a rich, rounded, and exceptionally smooth profile that’s both contemporary and timeless.
Aged and blended with precision, Case Study: 05 reflects Frank August’s dedication to modern refinement and intentional craftsmanship. The wheated mash bill offers a layered experience—gentle yet complex, with a silky mouthfeel and deep, resonant flavors that unfold with each sip.
This rare 5-barrel release was selected for its standout character and harmony, bottled at a bold yet balanced proof to highlight the subtleties of wheat while preserving the structure of traditional bourbon.
