Frank August Case Study is a bourbon, a style of American whiskey typically made with a majority of corn and matured in new charred oak barrels. For a novice drinker, bourbon often shows a richer, sweeter profile than many other whiskey styles, with oak influence playing a central role.
As a category, bourbon is commonly associated with notes such as vanilla, caramel, baking spice, and toasted oak. This makes it an approachable starting point for drinkers exploring fuller-bodied American whiskey.
