Frank August Case Study: 07 | French Connection is a limited 7-barrel batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon and Rye Whiskey blend finished across Calvados, Martinique Rhum, and Caribbean Rum casks — a bold exploration of American whiskey structure elevated by French and Caribbean influence. Inspired by the historic gift of the Statue of Liberty from France to the United States on July 4, 1884, this release is deliberately proofed to 107.4 — a nod to that defining date. The result is a layered, complex whiskey that delivers ripe orchard fruit, brûléed sugar, dark molasses, baking spice, and tropical depth, finishing long and resonant with waves of brown sugar, dried tropical fruit, and soft oak. Part of Frank August's acclaimed Case Study series — an experimental platform for one-of-one releases that will never be repeated — this is a collector's pour for serious bourbon enthusiasts.
