Who is Frank August? If you visit their site they say, "Frank August is a call to be open and undisguised. An invitation to come together and share in America’s spirit." Which is funny because there's not a lot to be known about the liquid inside the very stylish bottle. We know it's 100 proof, probably sourced from Kentucky, and small batched from 10-15 barrels. We also know Frank August isn't a person. The real person behind Frank August is Johnathan Crocker, a former fashion executive. Knowing that helps puts Frank August into perspective, to an extent this bourbon is very high fashion. Nose: Buttery shortbread cookie Palate: Rich, vanilla, and sugary like a baked chess bar Finish: Short, fades away as mysteriously as it arrived This bourbon is classic and refined- not edgy or complex like higher proof or older bourbons. In a sense, it's like a dressy pair of jeans: it looks good, it fits the role of denim, but you wouldn't wear it while doing some serious work outside.
