If you don’t know about Frey Ranch Distillery, now is a good time to get on the bandwagon. The Nevada-based farm-to-glass distillery is celebrating ten years of award-winning distillation and five generations of farming by launching a new limited-edition whiskey.

Frey Ranch Harvester Series: 10th Anniversary Edition

It’s called Harvester Series: 10th Anniversary Edition, and it’s already won numerous awards, including a Gold Medal at the 2025 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. The whiskey is made with all five grains grown on-site at the farm: non-GMO dent corn, winter wheat, winter rye, barley, and oats. This American whiskey is a blend of the team’s favorite single barrels, featuring more than 100 barrels and fourteen different mash bills.

This limited-edition expression features whiskey as old as seven and a half years and is bottled at a potent 121.4-proof. According to Frey Ranch, the result is an epic whiskey that begins with a nose of butterscotch, oatmeal raisins cookies, and cinnamon graham crackers. Sipping it reveals notes of confectionary sugar, custard, and marshmallow. The finish combines candied nuts, milk chocolate, and pinenuts.

“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. 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,” Co-Founder and Whiskey Farmer Colby Frey says.

“Collaborating with Nancy (Fraley) on our anniversary liquid was honestly a career highlight. She brings so much knowledge and passion and  really pushed us in an interesting direction.”

Europe is slowly embracing wine in pouches instead of bottles. Is America next? 
Medley Wine Co.

Boxed wine gets a bad rap because, well, it’s wine in a box. You’ve heard all the negative connotations by now: They’re cheap, unsophisticated, and downright boring. You walk into any party with boxed wine, and you’ll not only raise eyebrows, but also be persona non grata at the next shindig. I’ve personally never sipped wine from a box, though that has a lot to do with the fact that my introduction to wine happened when a date of mine from more than 20 years ago ordered a bottle of Château Ste. Michelle Riesling at a restaurant I frequented. The Riesling was sweet, crisp, and truly delicious for someone who runs on beer, tequila, rum, and whiskey. That bottle of Riesling, however, sparked curiosity: Buying a dozen red and white bottles of wine from my local shop in Pasadena, California. The bottles sat mostly on my wine rack collecting dust. I’d open one every few months when guests preferred something buttery or fruity over carbonated or oaky booze.

It wasn’t until my trip across Tuscany in April 2018 that I really learned to appreciate wine. After touring the tiny village, one wine came out on top, and it’s one I order every chance I get when dining out: Chianti Classico. But always make sure the bottle carries the black rooster symbol. The older I get, the more I appreciate a glass of wine. Heck, last summer while visiting Cuban Creations Cigar Bar in New Orleans, the lovely waitress recommended a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon for the Arturo Fuente Gran Reserva cigar I was about to light. It was a great recommendation.

Bowmore is bringing a new 20-year-old Islay single malt to the US
Whisky, Scotch, Bottle

Twenty years is a long time to wait for anything, let alone a whisky, but Bowmore is betting its newest release is one worth the delay.

The distillery, founded in 1779 in the town of Bowmore, is the oldest licensed distillery on Islay. It’s also the second-oldest in Scotland, and one of the few that still runs its own floor maltings, using peat smoke to dry the barley on-site.
