Nevada farm distillery Frey Ranch has announced the release of Frey Ranch 100% Barley Whiskey – the latest offering in its popular Single Grain Series. The genesis of the Single Grain Series was to introduce whiskey connoisseurs and the whiskey curious to the unique characteristics of a solitary grain grown with care by Whiskey Farmer Colby Frey.
“As farmers first and foremost, we’ve always believed that if you care about how your food is grown then you should care just as much about how your whiskey is grown. At Frey Ranch Distillery, we call it farm-to-glass whiskey because we raise every single grain with one intention – to eventually become whiskey. With today’s release, we’re turning our attention to one of the global workhorses of whiskey production – barley. Because we decided to create the whiskey with unmalted barley, it offers a creamier, more viscous tasting experience than a traditional single malt,” said Co-Founder and Whiskey Farmer Colby Frey.
Made from two-row unmalted barley, Frey Ranch 100% Barley Whiskey was pot distilled, aged for four years & eight months and bottled at 110 proof.
As with all releases from Frey Ranch, 100% of the grains used in producing Frey Ranch 100% Barley Whiskey were grown and harvested, milled and distilled on the Frey family farm. Experimenting with the corn, wheat, barley, rye and oat that Co-Founder and Whiskey Farmer Colby Frey cultivates himself has become a hallmark of the brand – and the driving force behind Frey Ranch’s explosive growth in Nevada and California. Today, Frey Ranch is the #1 selling ultra-premium bourbon in Nevada and one of the largest whiskey producers on the West Coast.
Other releases in the Single Grain Series include Frey Ranch American Single Malt Smoked Whiskey, Frey Ranch 100% Malted Corn Whiskey, Frey Ranch 100% Oat Whiskey and Frey Ranch 100% Wheat Whiskey. Available exclusively as a 375ml for $59.99, Frey Ranch 100% Barley Whiskey may be purchased online at www.shop.freyranch.com and in the Fallon, NV-based Distillery Tasting Room.
