Breaking Bourbon – Review: Lost Lantern 2025 Single Cask #11: Frey Ranch Nevada Wheat Whiskey

Lost Lantern’s 2025 Single Cask #11: Frey Ranch Estate-Grown Nevada Wheat Whiskey is a unique and flavorful wheat whiskey crafted with a 100% wheat mashbill, offering a more nuanced experience than expected from its high proof.

From the outset, this wheat whiskey comes together beautifully. The aroma is filled with strong caramel, raspberry soufflé, spicy charred oak, and seared mint, with a light floral essence to it. The palate hits with robust strawberry, seasoned oak, and layers of baking spices. The finish offers a delicious blend of raspberry mousse, rich dark chocolate, and charred oak.

Given that this is a wheat whiskey and high proof, many may expect another Bernheim Barrel Proof Original Wheat Whiskey or Heaven Hill Heritage Collection: ​​19-Year-Old Kentucky Straight Wheat Whiskey (2025) killer. Surprisingly, this is a very different beast, and that in part is due to its 100% wheat mashbill, which isn’t used often in wheat whiskeys. Its proof is strikingly pulled back and allows the flavors to gently envelope your mouth. The result is a wheat whiskey that is full-flavored, unique-tasting, and an all-around standout in Lost Lantern’s Summer 2025 Collection. Lost Lantern’s 2025 Single Cask #11 truly showcases what wheat whiskey can offer.

OVERALL RATING: 4.5 Barrels – EXCEPTIONAL!
