Product Overview
A true estate Bourbon made with four grains and a profound love of the land.
In the eastern foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains sits a fertile valley fed by a continuous flow of melted snow-water filtering through the bedrock. The Frey family has been farming this land since 1953. Fourth-generation farmer Colby Frey saw grain and pure water and decided that Whiskey was a good bet. First he produced Wine 2001, opening Churchill Vineyards. Then he started experimenting with distilled Spirits in 2006. Nevada relaxed regulations in 2010 opening the door to commercial distillation — Frey Ranch Whiskey Farm opened in 2014 with a beautiful Vendome still next door to the winery.
Frey Ranch Straight Bourbon Whiskey just won a 2020 Whiskies of the World Gold Medal. It is a true estate operation with everything done on site from field to bottle. This a four-grain Bourbon and they raise their own — non-GMO corn, winter rye, winter wheat, and two-row barley. It’s continuously distilled in a 3-tower Vendome set-up and aged for four years in new oak. There is zero chill-filtration and cut to proof with the amazing snow-melt water to serve at 45% ABV for your pleasure.
Nose / Aroma / Smell - Four-grain Bourbons tend to have a complex nose, so expect to find a wide range of fruits with mountain cherries, sourdough bread, vanilla, oak, and turbinado.
Flavor / Taste / Palate - The palate opens with a solid, velvety mouth-feel with a drying sensation over notes of tostones, cranberries, grain spices, baked granola, and vanilla.
Finish - The finish is long, warm, and a bit dry on the back palate.
