Product Description:
Frank August Case Study: 06 Legacy Reserve | 6 Barrel Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Kentucky Straight Bourbon • Blend of 8-, 9- & 10-year-old whiskeys from three of Kentucky’s most storied legacy distilleries • Bottled at 54.62% ABV (109.24 proof) • Limited release nine six-barrel
Case Study: 06 is a bold exploration of bourbon’s lineage. Frank August looked beyond a single source, selecting two barrels each from three distinguished Kentucky distilleries, then blending them to create a whiskey that converses with the past while speaking for the future. The ages 8, 9 and 10 years bring maturity; the blend brings balance.
Tasting Notes
- Appearance: Rich amber with deep copper undertones; slow legs reveal maturity and depth.
- Nose: Vanilla bean, honeycomb, caramelised pear layered over seasoned oak, light baking spice and candied fruit.
- Palate: Waves of butterscotch and dark toffee, roasted pecan, subtle orange zest, balanced structure yet expressive and composed.
- Finish: Long and deliberate—echoes of toasted sugar, charred oak, dried cherry, silky mouth-feel culminating in a quietly powerful fade.
Serving Suggestions
- Neat Let the glass rest for a few minutes so the aromas open fully.
- Large Ice Cube Slight chill softens oak edges and accentuates the fruit-and-vanilla core.
