Frey Ranch Private Barrel Select 'Sky Blue' is a single barrel straight bourbon from Frey Ranch Farmers + Distillers in Fallon, Nevada, bottled at barrel strength, 127.6 proof (63.8% ABV).
It is distilled from four grains grown on the Frey family ranch: non-GMO corn, winter cereal rye, winter wheat and two-row barley.
It is aged at least five years in 53-gallon American white oak and bottled undiluted and non-chill filtered.
Expect rich caramel, baking spice, grain sweetness and toasted oak, concentrated at full barrel strength.
This barrel, No. 1625, was chosen as a private barrel select, and its gold-and-black label makes it a standout bottle for craft bourbon collectors.
Bourbon must be made in the United States from a mash of at least 51% corn and aged in new charred oak containers, and straight bourbon must be aged at least two years. Those rules give bourbon its characteristic sweetness, with caramel and vanilla drawn from the charred barrels.
