The Distillery Story
Frank August was founded during the pandemic by three visionaries who saw an opportunity to tell a different bourbon story. They emerged as a brand dedicated to authenticity, openness, and creative reinvention. Crafted in Kentucky, Frank August partners with some of the most respected figures in the bourbon industry, including award-winning master blenders. Their distillation process is both meticulous and forward-thinking. This includes their celebrated small-batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey and unique releases like “Case Study 01 | Mizunara | Japanese Oak,” which showcases flavors of butterscotch and baking spices. What sets Frank August apart is its minimalist design ethos and its focus on storytelling. The brand rejects the repetitive legacy narratives common in bourbon, instead championing a broader, inclusive view of America’s spirit. Every element, from their sleek packaging to their curated releases, invites drinkers to ""be frank""—to be open, honest, and undisguised.
