Frank August Small Batch Straight Rye is a permanent addition to the brand’s lineup, complementing their Small Batch Straight Bourbon. Each batch is blended from 10–15 barrels, with no batch number on the label to ensure consistency across releases. The whiskey opens with rye spice on the nose before shifting to sweeter notes of caramel, brown sugar, citrus, and allspice. On the palate, rich sweetness dominates with caramel, brown sugar, graham cracker, raisin, and leather, while rye spice builds toward the finish. The finish highlights baking spices, cinnamon, oak, and leather, making it a balanced rye that leans sweet enough to appeal even to those wary of spicier styles.
