NOSE Hay-like earthiness, oak, fruit, cinnamon, toffee and bits of vanilla, fresh biscuits and polenta. This isn’t super deep or complex, but it is well balanced and expressive in a way that brings the nose back to the glass over and over. It’s an enjoyable sniff. PALATE Hay-like earthiness, cinnamon candy, toffee, nutmeg, cocoa powder, vanilla candy, raw corn, caramelized banana and just a hint of that tannic-woody craft note. Again, not super deep or complex, but well balanced. Frey Ranch Bourbon is a surprising entry from the craft world because of the maturity it shows and the nice integration of wood and spirit. FINISH Medium -> Cinnamon, caramel, hay-like earthiness and corn fade out to a bit of that crafty sawdust/wood note and dried fruit.
