Frey Ranch Soaring Spice 4 Year Old, New Charred American Oak Cask, Batch No. FREY-1, 2023, Lost Lantern, 63.8%

The clove, nutmeg and orange peel make this sound firmly spice-led, while the balanced sweetness gives it some lift. Deep oak and a long, warming finish point to a bold bourbon; all that spice may make it less easygoing, but the notes still sound well balanced.
