ON THE SUPERIOR SHELF
On the Superior Shelf: Frank August Small Batch Rye
Frank August Small Batch Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey: 100 proof, 50% ABV, 750 ml, Kentucky origin and a photographed $74.99 shelf price.
A pale-green neck band and a 100-proof rye
The restrained packaging makes Frank August Small Batch Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey easy to recognize: a broad clear-glass bottle, gold stopper, pale-green neck band and a small gold wordmark near the base. The important details sit on that neck band and the back of the bottle: 50% ABV, 100 proof and 750 ml.
This Shelf entry records the photographed bottle and its store tag. It does not assign a tasting score or borrow a rating from another Frank August expression.

What “small batch” means for this expression
The official Frank August Small Batch Rye page, checked on 23 October 2026, describes 10–15-barrel batches and corroborates the bottle’s 100 proof, 50% ABV and 750 ml. That batch size is the brand’s description of this expression; it is not a numerical age statement.
The supplied labels do not specify a mash-bill percentage or name a source distillery. We have left those details unassigned.
Kentucky distillation and aging; Bardstown bottling
The rear printing states distilled and aged in Kentucky, followed by bottled by Frank August, Bardstown, Kentucky. The state of distillation and the named bottler are useful facts, but the bottling address alone does not identify the distillery that made the whiskey.
The photographed $74.99 shelf price
The supplied tag names Frank August Small Batch Rye Whiskey, lists 750ML and displays Our Price: $74.99. Its product wording and size agree with the bottle shown above.
The tag’s “consistent low prices” banner is store wording, not our price comparison. The photographs do not establish a discount, a current stock position or a confirmed checkout price. The retailer and location remain unnamed.
