Frank August's Case Study: 05 Wheated Reserve is a rare and refined Kentucky Straight Bourbon that continues the brand's innovative exploration of American whiskey. This limited-edition release focuses on a wheated mash bill-swapping out rye for wheat-to deliver a richer, more rounded bourbon experience. Known for its minimalist bottle design and modern approach to tradition, Frank August is redefining the premium bourbon category with precision, style, and substance.
At the core of this bourbon is a soft, creamy sweetness brought forward by the wheat. Expect layers of caramel-drizzled apple, vanilla bean, and toasted oak, followed by hints of almond and warm brown sugar. The wheated mash allows the mid-palate to expand luxuriously, offering a velvety and cohesive mouthfeel that's both bold and graceful.
On the nose, Case Study: 05 opens with a bouquet of honeyed cornbread, cinnamon spice, and subtle floral notes. These aromatic layers evolve into hints of clove, orange peel, and charred wood, creating a beautifully complex scent that invites slow appreciation before the first sip.
The finish is long, polished, and elegant. You'll notice a lingering warmth with traces of butterscotch, soft oak tannin, and a gentle spice that doesn't overpower. It's a whiskey that rewards patience, offering evolving flavors even after the glass is empty.
Perfect for bourbon enthusiasts seeking something luxurious yet distinctive. Whether you're a seasoned collector or a curious connoisseur, Case Study: 05 speaks to those who value craftsmanship, detail, and storytelling in every pour.
