Frey Ranch Rye Single Barrel Pick by The Whiskey Library #2718 750ml
About the Product: Frey Ranch's Straight Rye Whiskey is built from a mash bill that doesn't blink: 100% winter cereal rye, grown and harvested entirely on-site at Frey Ranch by Colby Frey himself, then aged in #4 char barrels capped with #3 char heads. The whiskey maintains a smooth, complex flavor that sets it apart from the pepper-forward profile found in many ryes — a testament to the quality of slow-grown estate grain and a Nevada climate that pushes maturation harder than most. Barrel #2718 is a single barrel, cask strength expression of that same rye: uncut, unfiltered, and exactly as it came out of the wood. One barrel, one grain, one ranch.
About Frey Ranch Distillery: Frey Ranch is one of the rarest things in American whiskey: a true estate distillery. Founded in 2006 by husband-and-wife duo Colby and Ashley Frey on their family's farm in Fallon, Nevada, the distillery sits on land the Frey family has farmed continuously since 1854 — a decade before Nevada was even a state. Every grain in every bottle is grown, malted, mashed, distilled, aged, and bottled on the same 2,500-acre property, making their "Ground-to-Glass" promise literal rather than marketing. Master Distiller Russell Wedlake works alongside Colby to oversee every stage of production, while Nevada's extreme desert climate — scorching summers, frigid winters — accelerates maturation and puts a distinct regional stamp on the whiskey. Named Spirits Brand of the Year by VinePair in 2023, Frey Ranch has become one of the top-selling ultra-premium bourbons in the United States.
