Frank August announces CASE STUDY: 08 | 8 YEAR | WINTER WHEATED RESERVE | 8 BARREL BATCH, the eighth release in its CASE STUDY program and its second exploration of wheated bourbon. 

Selected exclusively from winter distillations, the Kentucky straight bourbon carries an eight-year age statement, with the selected barrels approaching nine years old, and is bottled at 108.8 proof. 

Frank August’s multi-award-winning CASE STUDY program has earned multiple double gold medals and two “World’s Best” honors: 

For CASE STUDY: 08, Frank August returned to the same barrel lots behind CASE STUDY: 05 with a more focused selection: only barrels from winter distillations, now given additional time to mature in American oak. The resulting release comprises eight distinct batches, each composed of eight hand-selected barrels, bringing together the softness and balance that distinguished its predecessor with greater depth developed through continued maturation. 

“CASE STUDY: 05 gave us a meaningful introduction to these barrels, but there was more of their story to tell,” Johnathan Crocker, CEO, Co-Founder and Blender of Frank August, said in a news release. “Returning to the same lots allowed us to explore how the whiskey had evolved with additional time. For CASE STUDY: 08, we narrowed our selection to winter distillations and built each eight-barrel batch around the balance, texture and depth we found in those barrels.” 

Frank August’s CASE STUDY program provides a platform for exploring American whiskey through deliberate choices in barrel selection, maturation, finishing and blending. Each release is a singular expression, shaped by a specific selection of barrels and never to be produced again. 

CASE STUDY: 08 continues that approach through a closer examination of whiskey the brand knows well, exploring what additional time and a more focused selection can reveal.
