Frey Ranch Distillery Has A New Single Barrel Bourbon Program
Nevada’s Frey Ranch Distillery recently launched a new Single Barrel Bourbon Program with a new Barrel Strength Straight Bourbon Whiskey.
The distillery is one of a small number of whiskey producers across the world to grow 100% of its grains on site at the Frey Ranch in Fallon, Nevada. That includes the four-grain mash bill of non-GMO corn, winter cereal rye, winter wheat, and two-row barley that make up their new Barrel Strength Bourbon. The whiskey is aged for over five years, using American white oak barrels that Frey has sourced from cooperages in Missouri and Kentucky and is non-chill filtered. Alcohol by volume ranges from 120 to 133 proof, depending up the particular single barrel offering.

Just over a decade ago, the craft spirit movement in Texas began with Garrison Brothers and Balcones. Now there are as many distilleries in Texas as there were in the country when the American craft whiskey scene started gaining traction after the Great Recession of 2008.
State 38 Distilling, as it enters its eighth year of operation, recently unveiled a new bottle package look and some new whiskeys to share with the people of Colorado. As well, they dropped the news that their full line up of whiskeys, including the new Straight Rye and Wheat Whiskeys, will now be on the shelves of retailers throughout the Centennial State.
According to State 38 co-owner and distilling partner Don Hammond, the choice to move to a more rounded bottle and to update the labels for each of their premium whiskeys was a chance to pay tribute to Colorado and the history of their chosen profession.
