This one is the soft one with the volume turned up. \u003cstrong\u003eFrank August Case Study Winter Wheated Reserve Kentucky Bourbon\u003c\/strong\u003e is a limited, \u003cstrong\u003e8-year-age-stated wheated bourbon\u003c\/strong\u003e made from a mash of corn, wheat, and malted barley, with barrels chosen only from \u003cstrong\u003ewinter distillation\u003c\/strong\u003e runs. Because of when those barrels were filled, they carry an eight-year age statement but have spent closer to \u003cstrong\u003enine years in charred oak\u003c\/strong\u003e. It’s bottled at \u003cstrong\u003ebarrel strength, 108.8 proof (54.4% ABV)\u003c\/strong\u003e, in batches of eight hand-selected barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIt’s drawn from the same lots as the brand’s first wheated bourbon, which was named \u003cstrong\u003eWorld’s Best Wheated Bourbon at the 2025 San Francisco World Spirits Competition\u003c\/strong\u003e, with a narrower selection and more time in oak. The notes read like dessert: crème brûlée, baked pear, and toasted pecan on the nose, a creamy palate of dark caramel, maple, and baked cherry, and a long finish of vanilla custard, toasted oak, and gentle spice. Wheat replaces rye as the secondary grain, so there’s soft sweetness where you’d expect pepper, and the proof gives it body without the burn. Sip it \u003cstrong\u003eneat\u003c\/strong\u003e or with a few drops of water, over \u003cstrong\u003eone large cube\u003c\/strong\u003e, or alongside a cheesecake. It’s a bottle for the wheated-bourbon fan, a collector’s piece from a Louisville brand, and a gift for anyone who likes Weller and wants something rarer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"5\"\u003eAbout the Bottle\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKentucky straight wheated bourbon; 8-year age statement (barrels closer to nine years)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWinter-distilled barrels; batches of eight hand-selected barrels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e108.8 proof (54.4% ABV); barrel strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrank August, Kentucky; 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"4\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eFrom the brand’s tasting notes.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Crème brûlée, baked pear, and toasted pecan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Creamy, with dark caramel, maple, and baked cherry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long, with vanilla custard, toasted oak, and gentle spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"4\"\u003eFood Pairings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe caramel and baked fruit pair well with cheesecake, pecan pie, and bread pudding.
