Fray Ranch Distiller's Reserve Single Barrel Bourbon (126.38 Proof, 5 Year, Four Grain)
126.38 proof 5 years Bourbon Fray Ranch $84.99 Non-GMO corn, winter wheat, winter rye, two-row barley

Powerful and deep with rich caramel and butterscotch as the primary notes. Dark fruit notes including plum and raisin, kettle corn, and a caramel-coated apple with nuts reminiscent of a fair treat. Rye spice present but without the softness typically expected from a wheated whiskey. Well-balanced complexity.

Sweet caramel and butterscotch upfront, transitioning to leather and oak toward the back of the palette. Dry finish with complexity of flavors. Pop rocks sensation with a slight fizzle-sizzle. Sweet-tart character with power in the mouth. Leather shop aroma impression combined with dryness and chalkiness.

Long, lingering finish dominated by oak and leather. Sweet-tart notes with pop rocks sensation. Drying effect with a strong Kentucky hug that persists. The finish overpowers subsequent nose impressions due to its extended duration.

Overall Score
4.6 / 5
A powerful, flavor-forward single barrel whiskey with impressive complexity, long finish, and the distinctive character of a true farm-to-bottle expression that stands shoulder-to-shoulder with premium barrel proof offerings.
