How Frey Ranch Distillery is Crafting Award-Winning Whiskeys from High-Quality Grains 100% Grown on the Farm + Distillery Located East of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in Northern Nevada
Frey Ranch Distillery is making a name for itself with its farm-to-glass whiskey.
As one of only a few true “estate distilleries” in the U.S., Frey Ranch Distillery has single-handedly put Nevada on the map as a serious producer of American Whiskey with its unique farm-to-glass operation. Growing 100 percent of the grains used to create its award-winning portfolio of bourbons, ryes and specialty whiskeys, Frey Ranch oversees all aspects of its production to make the highest quality whiskeys that spotlight each grain.
Based in Fallon, Nevada, the Frey family has a long legacy of farming in this region dating back to 1854, which continues today with Frey Ranch CEO, co-founder and “Whiskey Farmer,” Colby Frey, who started the distillery in 2006 with his wife, co-founder and “Chief Storyteller” Ashley.
Combining their farming acumen with a passion for whiskey, the Frey Ranch team grows, malts, distills and ages 100% of their whiskey grains on the more than 1,500-acre Frey Ranch farm. Experimenting with the corn, wheat, barley and rye that Colby cultivates has become a hallmark of the brand – and the driving force behind the unprecedented demand for Frey Ranch Whiskeys. While other whiskey distillers and blenders trade on aging and finishing techniques, the Frey Ranch team proudly innovates with the grains they grow – releasing bourbons, ryes and specialty whiskeys where the grains take center stage. These releases have earned Frey Ranch a rabid following among whiskey collectors around the world.
This distinctive approach to whiskey production has paid off in spades. Today, Frey Ranch is one of the top-selling ultra-premium bourbons in the U.S. and one of the largest whiskey producers on the West Coast.
The Frey family values a common-sense approach to sustainable farming, with Colby’s inspiration to build a distillery born from a desire to create a distinctive, long-lasting product from the quality grains his family has been growing and perfecting for generations. The family has long abided by the motto, “Be good to the land and the land will be good to you,” which is engraved on the bottom of each bottle of Frey Ranch whiskey.

Says “Whiskey Farmer” and Co-Founder Colby Frey, “Our farm-to-glass ethos drives our approach – from farming and harvesting grains to malting barley on-site, all the way through distillation and maturation, the Frey Ranch team is dedicated to crafting the highest quality whiskey, which doesn’t leave the property until it’s bottled and ready to be enjoyed.”
The company’s award-winning Frey Ranch Bottled-in-Bond Straight Rye is an example of how grains take centerstage in all Frey Ranch Whiskeys. Made with 100% Winter Cereal Rye, the Bottled-in-Bond Straight Rye showcases the quality of the company’s slow-grown Rye grains without the impact of any other flavors. Aged for a minimum of five years and bottled at 100-proof, the whiskey is smooth enough to sip, yet spicy enough to shine in a cocktail. The rye features intense aromas of wood & spice, as vanilla, and caramel lead into a glorious perfume of grapefruit zest, almond and honey. Full bodied and buttery with plenty of black pepper finish. A long, lingering finish brings velvety honey, cacao nibs and raisin.
