Frank August Case Study: 03 Winter Cover, 53.1%

On the nose, this offers an excellent balance of sweet and spice, with layers of mint tea, honey, and Granny Smith apple supported by brown sugar sweetness and a hint of grape jelly.

The finish turns spicier with cinnamon, peppercorns, and dark-roast coffee, rounding out a well-composed whiskey.
