🥃🇫🇷 FRANK AUGUST CASE STUDY: 07 — FRENCH CONNECTION 🇺🇸🥃
Seven barrels. Three unique cask finishes. One seriously flavorful wh***ey! 🔥
Frank August continues to impress with Case Study: 07, a limited-release blend of Kentucky Straight Bourbon and Kentucky Straight Rye Wh***ey, finished in Calvados, Martinique Rhum, and Caribbean Rum casks and bottled at a bold 107.4 proof (53.7% ABV).
This one takes you on a flavor journey!
🍎 Nose: Baked apples, ripe pears, toasted coconut, vanilla cream, and hints of caramelized banana.
🥃 Palate: Rich and full-bodied, with layers of brown sugar, dark molasses, brûléed sugar, baked pineapple, and warm rye spice. Cinnamon, clove, and cracked pepper bring everything together beautifully.
🔥 Finish: Long, warm, and satisfying, with lingering notes of tropical fruit, sweet oak, baking spices, and a touch of citrus.
🇫🇷 A little history in the bottle: The name French Connection pays tribute to the relationship between France and America, and that 107.4 proof is no accident. It's a nod to July 4, 1884, when France formally presented the Statue of Liberty to the United States.
My Take: This is one flavorful wh***ey! The combination of bourbon, rye, Calvados, and rum cask influences creates an outstanding balance of fruit, sweetness, spice, and complexity. A unique pour that stands out from your everyday bourbon.
If you enjoy a well-crafted, finished wh***ey with layers of flavor, I highly recommend giving Frank August Case Study: 07 a try! 🥃🔥
