Frey Ranch Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Frey Ranch · Frey Ranch Distillery
Frey Ranch grows every grain on their own farm, and you taste that field-to-flask philosophy in every sip. This is a bourbon that proves terroir isn't just a wine word—it's a whiskey word too.
Nose
Fresh corn husk and caramel open immediately, followed by a thread of vanilla and toasted wheat. A faint orchard note—red apple skin—surfaces after a moment in the glass.
Palate
Medium-bodied with a grain-forward sweetness that transitions through butterscotch and a gentle rye spice. Oak is present but measured, more framework than feature, letting the corn and wheat do the talking.
Finish
Moderate length with lingering corn sweetness, a dusting of brown spices, and a clean malt fade.
