For its 10-year anniversary, Frey Ranch has rolled out a 100% wheat whiskey single barrel that celebrates its slow grown grains and farm-to-grass roots
Frey Ranch Distillery may be the best American whiskey maker you’ve never heard of. And despite that reputation among many whiskey aficionados, the Nevada-based distillery still manages to push limits with its unique launches and surprise even the most jaded spirits fans. Their latest launch is the 100% Wheat Whiskey, a cask-strength, single-barrel addition to their heralded Single Grain Series.
Made from soft white winter wheat grown exclusively on the Frey Ranch farm, the 100% Wheat Whiskey Single Barrel is the first cask strength whiskey from the brand’s Single Grain Series. Ranging from 58.4% ABV (116.8 proof) to 67.2% ABV (134.4 proof) dependent on the barrel, the barrels were aged between six years and two months to seven years and eight months.
“Our slow grown grains are at the core of who we are as an American Whiskey brand, so we’ll continue to experiment with different mashbills that showcase the high quality and unique flavor profiles of these single grain variations,” says Co-Founder and Whiskey Farmer Colby Frey. “Frey Ranch 100% Wheat Whiskey Single Barrel is the first cask strength release from our Single Grain Series, and we’re looking forward to sharing this with the whiskey community.”
The whiskey is a “sugar bomb” delivering aromas of butterscotch, buttercream frosting, and custard aromas, leading to flavors of birthday cake and milk chocolate on the palate. The finish features vanilla extract, vanilla bean, and espresso. The brand recommends serving the whiskey neat or on the rocks.
The 100% Wheat Whiskey Single Barrel features a suggested retail price of $114.00 for a 750 ml bottle and is available online at the brand’s official website.
Last year, Frey Ranch added its Farm Strength Uncut Bourbon to its permanent collection, and we named it one of the best bourbons of 2023.
