Their story

Frank August is a young bourbon brand that released its first Small Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon in July 2022. Co-founder and CEO Johnathan Crocker built the name around the idea of being frank: open, honest and direct.

Like many new bourbon labels, Frank August does not run its own distillery. It selects and blends whiskey from a Kentucky distiller it does not name.

How it's made

Each batch is blended from only 10 to 15 barrels. The brand says its whiskey meets bottled-in-bond standards, but because the source distillery is not disclosed, the bottle cannot carry that official label.

We're humbled and excited to have the opportunity to contribute to the rich history of bourbon

Why we carry them

Frank August is a newer name worth a look if you like a rich, small-batch Kentucky bourbon. Try it neat first, then in an Old Fashioned.
