Built from a blend of Kentucky straight bourbon and rye whiskeys, this release is finished across Calvados, Martinique rhum, and Caribbean rum casks, creating a layered profile that blends orchard fruit, cane sweetness, tropical depth, spice, and mature American whiskey structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1223\" data-start=\"726\"\u003eThe concept behind Case Study: 07 draws from the historic connection between France and the United States, using the Statue of Liberty as the symbolic anchor for the release. Rather than presenting the French influence as decoration, the whiskey uses Calvados and rhum cask finishing to shape the final flavor profile. The result is a modern American whiskey with a distinct cross-cultural identity: French apple-brandy influence, island rum character, and Kentucky whiskey backbone in one bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1573\" data-start=\"1225\"\u003eAt 107.4 proof, Frank August Case Study: 07 | French Connection carries enough strength to support its complex finishing casks without overwhelming the palate.
