The Harvest Collection: 10th Anniversary Edition includes all five cereals cultivated at Frey Ranch Farm — specifically dent corn, winter wheat, winter rye, barley, and oats.

We're thrilled to debut this new collection beginning with our Anniversary Edition—what we lovingly call the First Harvest," stated Colby Frey, co-founder of Frey Ranch, in a press release. "Working with Nancy Fraley on our celebratory spirit was truly a standout moment in my career. Her extensive expertise and enthusiasm guided us toward some innovative paths.

Fraley is an accomplished whiskey and rum mixer who has collaborated with brands such as Still Austin and Joseph Magnus.

She collaborated with Russell Wedlake, the head distiller at Frey Ranch, along with founders Ashley and Colby Frey, to mix multiple high-quality single-barrel whiskies for an imminent launch. According to Frey Ranch, this whiskey features aromas reminiscent of butterscotch and offers a sweet, buttery taste with notes of Nevada pinyon pine nuts in its aftertaste.

The First Harvest release will take place at noon on Saturday at Frey Ranch's tasting room located at 1045 Dodge Lane in Fallon. A limited run of 100 numbered bottles priced at $249.99 each will be up for grabs during this exclusive event. Furthermore, an extra 400 bottles are scheduled to hit both online platforms and local stores at a future time.

Frey Ranch is pioneering an exceptional approach within the whiskey industry by cultivating all their own grains. As provenance concerning grain sources gains significance among whiskey enthusiasts, increasing numbers of consumers consider the origins of their spirits,” stated Nancy Fraley. "The inaugural release from our Harvester Series offers a well-balanced, high-octane whiskey wherein the grains take center stage.

The bottle will include a retro-style tractor topper, with its packaging crafted to resemble a grain silo. More details can be accessed on Frey Ranch's website. website .
