Frank August is a call to be open and undisguised. An invitation to come together and share in America’s spirit.

We believe bourbon has a more expansive story to tell. One that belongs to all of us because it will be told by all of us.

Frank August is a modern expression of what bourbon is… what it can represent.

Frank August is honored to announce that its flagship Small Batch
Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey has been named “World’s Best Bourbon” at the 2025 International Wine & Spirits Competition (IWSC), one of the most respected and influential spirits competitions in the world.

Awarded a Gold Outstanding medal and an extraordinary score of 98/100, Frank August’s Small Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, a true small batch expression blended from just 10 to 15 barrels, earned the highest recognition in its category, rising above hundreds of global entrants to receive the coveted title. That this honor was awarded not to a rare or experimental release, but to the brand’s core flagship expression, underscores the depth of Frank August’s everyday craftsmanship. It marks a defining moment for the brand, and a rare, meaningful achievement for American whiskey as a whole.
