For CS:08, the team returned to the same lots with a more focused selection, choosing only barrels from winter distillations. Because of when they were filled, these barrels carry an eight-year age statement but are closer to nine years old. The result is a new expression of a familiar whiskey — eight distinct batches, each composed of eight hand-selected barrels, bringing together the softness and balance that set CS:05 apart with the added depth that only more time in American oak can give. Like every Case Study release, it is a true one-of-one expression, shaped a singular selection and never to be produced again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAppearance: \u003c\/strong\u003eDeep burnished copper with amber highlights; thick, slow legs suggest a rich, velvety body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose: \u003c\/strong\u003eWarm and layered, with crème brûlée, baked pear, and brown butter; as it opens, honeyed pastry, toasted pecan, polished oak, and a whisper of cinnamon bark come forward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate: \u003c\/strong\u003ePlush and full the first sip, with dark caramel, maple, and butterscotch joined by baked cherry and soft baking spice; the wheat gives a creamy, rounded texture, and the extra years add depth with hints of leather and dark chocolate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish: \u003c\/strong\u003eLong, warming, and elegant, with vanilla custard, toasted oak, and gentle spice fading slowly.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Frank August","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67697609441448,"sku":"67697609441448","price":139.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1829\/2275\/files\/frank-august-case-study-08-legacy-reserve-bourbon-std-417b48be9290-f23c1.jpg?v=1792431110","url":"https:\/\/seelbachs.com\/products\/frank-august-case-study-08-legacy-reserve-bourbon","provider":"Seelbach's","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
