Frey Ranch Straight Rye is a bottled-in-bond rye whiskey made from 100% winter cereal rye grown on the Frey family farm in Nevada, aged at least five years and bottled at 100 proof (50% ABV).
A 100% single-grain mash bill is rare, and this rye shows the full expression of slow-grown rye with no other grains. As a bottled-in-bond whiskey, it is the product of one distilling season, aged in a bonded warehouse and bottled at exactly 100 proof.
Intense aromas of wood and rye spice, vanilla and caramel lead into a glorious perfume of grapefruit zest, almond and honey. It is full-bodied and buttery, with plenty of black pepper and ginger up front, and the long, lingering finish brings velvety honey, raisin and cacao nibs.
It is a standout gift for rye lovers.
American rye whiskey is made from a mash of at least 51% rye and aged in new charred oak, giving it a spicier, drier character than bourbon, with notes of pepper, herbs and baking spice.
Rye whiskey was America's original whiskey style, and its peppery spice is the backbone of classics like the Manhattan.
The Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897 set strict rules to guarantee a whiskey's authenticity, and they still apply today.
Growing your own grain lets a distillery control the whiskey from field to bottle.
Winter rye is planted in the fall and harvested the next summer, growing slowly through the cold months.
