Frey Ranch Distillery is celebrating a decade of distilling and five generations of agricultural achievements with the launch of a new limited-edition whiskey aptly named the Harvester Series: 10^th Anniversary Edition. 

To commemorate this special milestone, co-founders Colby and Ashley Frey collaborated with one of the most renowned palates in whiskey – Master Blender Nancy  Fraley – to handpick barrels that highlight the sustainable and slow grown grains cultivated  and harvested exclusively on the Frey Ranch farm. 

Featuring all five of the grains grown on-site at the farm, including non-GMO dent corn, winter wheat, winter rye, barley, and oat, the Harvester Series: 10^th Anniversary Edition (also known as  “First Harvest”) is an American Whiskey carefully selected and expertly blended from Colby, Ashley, Nancy, and Frey Ranch Master Distiller Russell Wedlake’s favorite single barrels. 

To achieve this blend, the whiskey team tasted more than 100 barrels and 14 different mash bills to ensure that the final expression showcases the Frey Ranch grains while also shining a spotlight on the whiskey inside the bottle. The resulting mash bill is truly unique, including 71.2%  winter rye, 9.3% soft white winter wheat, a 10.5% blend representing 66.6% corn, 10% wheat, 12%  malted barley and 11.4% oat, and a 9% blend representing 66.6% corn, 11.4% rye, 12% malted  barley and 10% oat. 

“As farmers first and foremost, the Harvester Series is a culmination of more than 170 years of  growing the highest quality grains on our family farms in Northern Nevada,” Colby Frey said in a news release. “We’re excited to launch this new series starting with our Anniversary Edition — or what we are affectionately referring to as First Harvest, as this is the first Harvester release. Collaborating with Nancy on our anniversary liquid was honestly a career highlight. She brings so much knowledge and passion, and  really pushed us in an interesting direction.” 

At 121.14 proof and featuring whiskey as old as seven and ½ years, the Harvester Series: 10^th  Anniversary Edition is a collector’s item for Frey Ranch fans and whiskey aficionados. 

“Frey Ranch is really doing something unique in the whiskey space by growing all their own grains.  Provenance as it relates to grains will grow in importance for whiskey drinkers, as more consumers  think about where their spirits are sourced,” Fraley said. “What we’ve delivered with the first expression in the Harvester Series is a balanced, high proof whiskey where the grains are truly the  star of the show,” Fraley continued.  

The bottle itself is an homage to the Frey family’s legacy of farming in Nevada. The  traditional Frey Ranch stopper is replaced with a vintage tractor topper made from 100% recycled  metal. The commemorative anniversary bottle is nestled in exterior packaging reminiscent of a  grain silo – a cheeky nod to the grain silos that pepper the landscape at the Frey Ranch farm in Fallon. The Frey family motto, “Be good to the land and the land will be good to you,” is prominently featured on the packaging as a reminder of Frey Ranch Distillery’s approach to sustainability. 

Pre-sale orders will be accepted online at https://shop.freyranch.com/products/frey ranch-harvester-series-10th-anniversary-edition to purchase a commemorative bottle of the Harvester Series: 10 Year Anniversary Edition.
