Join the Rye-volution with Frey Ranch Single Barrel Rye
Greetings, rye-takes-whiskey-to-new-heights/” title=”Bulleit's 12-Year-Old Rye Takes Whiskey to New Heights”>whiskey aficionados and adventurous sippers! Buckle up, because I’m about to whisk you away to a rye-ality where the spirit’s not just another bottle on the shelf—it’s a craft, a passion, and quite honestly, a way of life. Allow me to introduce you to the robust world of Frey Ranch Single Barrel Rye. This isn’t just a whiskey; it’s a herald of the Rye Renaissance, where each sip is a bold statement of flavor and craft.
The Rise in Rye: A Grain of Truth
Once the underdog of the whiskey world, rye is now flexing its grains, and how! Echoing the voice of the Distilled Spirits Council, let me drop a truth bomb on you: rye whiskey volumes rocketed by a whopping 1,275 percent. That’s not a typo, my friends. This skyrocket from 2009 to 2018 tells tales of tongues tantalized by the surge of this spicy spirit. It’s no surprise that the Straight Rye Whiskey from Frey Ranch has found its fervent followers and garnered a glitzy garland of accolades.
Your Whiskey Dreams: Bottled
Imagine this: a swish and a swirl of amber liquid, a dance of earthy tones and sweet serenades in a glass—that’s what Co-Founder Colby Frey dreamed of when envisioning the Single Barrel Rye. This is not your run-of-the-mill rye. It’s barrel strength, baby, and it struts a mash bill 100% rye. We’re talking a heady mix of spiced complexity and smooth savors that’ll make your palate sing.
Charring Towards Perfection
And here’s the kicker, the barrels. They’re not just charred; they’re charred #4 with #3 capped heads. Wondering what that means? It’s char-speak for superbly smoked casks that coax out those bold, beautiful flavors. Think charred applewood, hints of perfume, and a rye spice that’s so right it should be illegal.
A Rye Whiskey that Plays Well with Others
The Single Barrel’s versatility is a marvel! Whether you’re a neat freak, an ice enthusiast, or a cocktail conjurer, this whiskey fits the bill. Pour it in a Manhattan, a Sazerac, even a swanky Vieux Carre—you’ll understand why folks say versatility is the spice of life. And by life, I mean rye, of course.
A Launch that Set Records… and Hearts Aflutter
If you thought standing in line was a drag, think again. When the Single Barrel Rye made its grand entrance in Fallon, Nevada, the turnout was monumental. Fans flocked faster than free Wi-Fi. And here’s a secret: it went so well, Colby unleashed a third barrel to quench the thirsty masses. If that’s not a testament to the Single Barrel Rye’s allure, I don’t know what is.
The Price of Excellence
Now, for the real talk—benjamins. At a cool $99.00 for a 750 ml, some might say steep, but I say steeped in excellence. You get what you pay for, and with Frey Ranch, what you’re paying for is liquid gold.
From Farm to Flask: The Frey Ranch Philosophy
Here’s a little something special about Frey Ranch—they don’t just produce whiskey; they embody it. Cozy-ing up to the Sierra Nevada Mountains, they’re all about quality control, and they don’t mess around. Everything’s grown, malted, and distilled right there on the ranch. And when I say everything, I mean everything. It’s the Frey way, “from ground to glass™.”
Heir to the Whiskey Throne: Colby Frey
Ladies and gentlemen, meet Colby Frey, CEO, Co-Founder, and bona fide “Whiskey Farmer.” This isn’t just a job; it’s his lineage, dating back to 1854. This man doesn’t just walk the walk; he farms the farm, steeped in tradition, dedicated to innovation.
The Whiskey Whisperer: Russell Wedlake
Accompanying Mr. Frey in this spirited adventure is none other than Master Distiller and Certified Crop Advisor, Russell Wedlake. Together, they’re a dynamic duo facing the formidable task of ensuring that every stage of production yields nothing but the best.
