Frank August announced the release of its first flagship rye expression: Small Batch Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey. 

Crafted as a true small batch — comprised of only 10 to 15 barrels per batch — this new release reflects the brand’s dedication to balance, structure and the expressive potential of American rye whiskey. Each batch is blended to deliver a consistent yet nuanced flavor profile. 

“Our goal with this rye was to capture the bold character of the grain while delivering a refined,  approachable profile,” Johnathan Crocker, CEO and Co-Founder and the brand’s blender, said in a news release. “By working with 10 to 15-barrel batches, we’re able to maintain a high level of consistency while preserving the nuance  that makes each blend distinctive. It’s a rye that’s structured, expressive, and unmistakably Frank August.” 

Small Batch Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey is a permanent addition to the brand’s portfolio and a natural counterpart to its small batch bourbon.

SRP for Small Batch Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey is $69.99–74.99. CS: 05 is now available to purchase in the following states/markets: AZ, CA, CO, D.C., DE, FL, OH, KY,  MD, MO, NV, NJ, NY, OK, SC, TN, TX, and WA.
