Frey Ranch "Farm Strength" Uncut Bourbon Whiskey

Frey Ranch Farm Strength (also called "Farm Strength Uncut") is a cask-strength version of Frey Ranch's flagship four-grain bourbon, bottled uncut and non-chill-filtered. It delivers an unadulterated, powerful expression that showcases the distillery's grain-to-glass philosophy. Every ingredient—from grain to bottle—is produced entirely on Frey Ranch in Fallon, Nevada.

Grain and Proof

• Mash bill: 66.6% Dent corn, 10% winter wheat, 11.4% winter rye, and 12% two‑row malted barley—all grown and malted onsite.

• Proof: Typically ranges between 120 and 132 proof, varying by numbered batch. (Currently we are shipping 123.88 Proof)

Tasting Notes

Aroma (Nose)

• Distinctive and unusual—fresh-cut cantaloupe, confectioners’ sugar, faint medicinal iodine, sawdust, and unmalted grain.

• General descriptors: Notes of caramelized crème brûlée, baking spices (cinnamon, nutmeg), black currant, fruitcake, leather, ginger biscuits, cereal, and cigar box.

Flavor (Palate)

• Meaty, bready, and malty with funk-forward character; sweet rancio-like edge akin to young, high-proof, lightly sherried scotch. Viscous mouthfeel, robust, and grain-driven.

• General tasting: Birthday cake frosting, glazed butter cake, cloves, orange creamsicle, dried stone fruits, leather, maple syrup, almonds, baking spices, banana bread.

Finish

• Medium-length, sweeter than the palate—vanilla and caramel linger with a touch of lingering funk.

• Overall: Long, balanced finish with a silky texture.Other Expert Impressions

• Steve Coomes (Bourbon & Banter): Described the bourbon as “an entertaining pour that punches, ducks and dodges,” full of bold baking-spice aromas, molasses, ginger, cocoa, oak, and stewed stone fruits.

• BreakingBourbon (Batch #17): Emphasized strong grain-forward notes—green apple, pear, citrus, and earthy undertones dominate mid-palate and finish.

Community Review (r/bourbon)

“Oily and viscous … tons of butterscotch, vanilla, and caramelized sugar upfront … dark cocoa, clove and pepper spice… medium to medium-long finish … butterscotch and vanilla return.” – Batch #12, ~121.76 proof

It’s a fierce, flavorful pour that showcases both the strengths and distinctive quirks of Frey Ranch’s four-grain mash bill.

"Every time we blend a small batch of our flagship four-grain bourbon, we taste it at cask strength before we “proof it down” to our signature 90 proof. We always fall in love with the uncut flavor, now you can too with the addition of this “Farm Strength” version of our flagship bourbon. Each batch will now feature both our signature 90 proof and this “uncut” expression. We named it “Farm Strength”, inspired by how we like to enjoy our whiskey on the ranch. As with all our whiskeys, this one is made from 100% grains grown on the Frey Ranch. Try them side-by-side for the best tasting experience!"
