Frey Ranch Five Grain Single Barrel Bourbon

Frey Ranch Distillery just launched Frey Ranch Five Grain Single Barrel Bourbon. This is the first-ever release from Frey Ranch that features all five of the grains distilled together – corn, wheat, barley, rye and the special addition of oat.

“Oats are notoriously difficult to distill, but (master distiller) Russell Wedlake and I love a challenge. Oat is 60% hulls by volume and low on starch, which is problematic for a whiskey maker, as the hulls plug up the stills and the low starch means a lower yield per barrel. For this release, we have less than 350 bottles in total that are available for purchase both online and in the Tasting Room, so these are definitely a get ‘em while they’re hot commodity,” said whiskey farmer Colby Frey.

The mash bill for Frey Ranch Five Grain Bourbon features 60% corn, 10% wheat, 10% rye, 10% malted barley and 10% oat, according to the distillery. At a whopping 130.24 proof, Barrel #3016 was aged for 6 years, 2 months and 1½ days. The nose offers caramel apples and Fun Dip candy while the palate presents oats and milk chocolate. Only 186 bottles are available for purchase online.

Frey Ranch Five Grain Single Barrel Bourbon: Barrel #3016 is available today at Shop.FreyRanch.com and Barrel #3011 is also available exclusively in the Frey Ranch Tasting Room, according to the distillery. Bottles sell for $89 per 750-ml.
