Bourbon Review: Frey Ranch Farm Strength Straight Bourbon

8 /10
EDITOR
Type: Bourbon
ABV: 62.15% ABV

Tasting Notes

Nose

The high proof is apparent with a strong medicinal rush of alcohol, but it grows into a mix of rich forest smells of moss, old wood, and pine.

Palate

I can taste a smooth base of malted cereal, accented by flavorful notes of baking spice and caramel. There is a dark, molasses sweetness underlying the profile. Despite its high alcohol content, there’s not much burn to this, and I can enjoy the flavor for a decent period before the intensity sets in. As the finish comes on, the woody flavors are complemented by hints of brine and smoke, almost like a peated whiskey.

We turn our attention to Frey Ranch Farm Strength Straight Bourbon bottled at 62.15% ABV. It enters a competitive field.

62.15% ABV. Mash bill: 66.6% dent corn, 10% winter wheat, 11.4% winter rye, 12% two-row malted barley. 124.3 Proof. MSRP 79 USD. The high proof is apparent with a strong medicinal rush of alcohol, but it grows into a mix of rich forest smells of moss, old wood, and pine. The flavor isn’t especially complex, but it’s rich. The high proof gives a lot of weight to the flavor, which leans into dark, almost syrupy richness. I can definitely believe that the grains are making an impact, as I feel the most richness in the malty, cereal forward notes.rnrnSometimes I don’t need something with a complex mix of fruit and spice notes, sometimes I just want something with a strong punch and rich cereals. If you enjoy something rich, dark, and strong, this would make a worthy addition to your shelf.
