79 General Review of Frey Ranch Single Barrel Bourbon

This first pour of Frey Ranch Single Barrel Straight Bourbon is splendid. I can't wait to see how this opens up in a few weeks. Anyway, here are some quick tasting notes.

Frey Ranch Single Barrel Straight Bourbon Review

Nose

The nose is nice and chewy with a molasses and oak mix that is not sweet—very subtle cherry and vanilla cream. No ethanol is present.

Palate

The nose is a glimpse into the future of what you will taste with Frey Ranch Single Barrel Straight Bourbon: molasses, seasoned honey oak, and salted caramel. Surprisingly char-heavy and a little thin. However, none of these attributes are particularly sweet. It could definitely use more aged oak to tame the 136.90 proof and make it an easier neat-drinking straight bourbon. There's a little mintiness on the mid-palate and beyond. The taste profile is not particularly unique. Hot! 

Finish

The finish is like a radiator in your esophagus but very dry, featuring mint, chocolatey dark roast coffee, tobacco, and oak. There is little sweetness in Frey Ranch Single Barrel Straight Bourbon. Because of this, many bourbon purest will love it.

Smell IS taste. I am just a guy who has been hit with the bourbon bug and who has come to the conclusion that life is too short to drink average tasting bourbons. Go Gators!
