Description:

Case Study: 01 is a blend of five barrels of Kentucky straight bourbon that were finished in medium toasted Japanese Mizunara barrels. Mizunara is a porous species of wood often used to age Japanese and Scotch whiskey. The result is a very approachable bourbon with a complex baking spice-forward flavor profile. It doesn’t specifically taste like it was finished in secondary barrels but offers layers of different spice and oak notes on the palate. Frank August Case Study: 01 Mizunara Japanese Oak Bourbon is a well-crafted expression that showcases the quality achievable when attention to detail meets small-scale production.
