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.”

Jagermeister goes citrus with new orange release

Alcohol, Beverage, Liquor

Alcohol is the ultimate gathering tool. No matter what event you have coming up, you can almost always bet on a good drink (unless it is a baby shower; then maybe not). From the moment I joined the United States Army, I became quite familiar with the presence of Jagermeister. It was a constant pillar of our get-togethers for two main reasons. The first was that we didn’t make a lot of money, and it has always been one of the more accessible liquors when we walked down the booze aisles of the Class 6 (picture a 711 on a military post). The second reason is that it is the perfect shot drink. It never needed a mixer. It is designed to be poured as a shot straight from the freezer. However, Jager is also versatile enough to make some great cocktails. Now, the brand dropped the perfect summer upgrade with an orange twist.

Bib & Tucker’s first bottled-in-bond bourbon is aged twice the legal minimum

Alcohol, Beverage, Liquor

Bib & Tucker is releasing its first bottled-in-bond bourbon, and the Columbia, Tennessee brand went well past what the designation actually asks for.

Bottled-in-bond is one of the oldest and strictest standards in American whiskey. The Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897 requires that a whiskey be distilled in a single season by a single distiller at a single distillery, aged at least four years in a federally bonded warehouse, and bottled at exactly 100 proof. No wiggle room on any of it.

Old Elk’s new 10-year collection is its first big move under new ownership

Alcohol, Beverage, Liquor

Old Elk just dropped three bottles at once, and every one of them is a full decade old. That’s a pretty big statement of purpose from the Fort Collins, Colorado brand, now owned by Middle West Spirits.

The Ohio-based parent company has become a serious supplier in the last few years, and they’re putting that muscle behind Old Elk with the 10-Year-Old Collection. The new drop consists of a Straight Bourbon, a Wheated Bourbon, and a Straight Wheat Whiskey, all aged ten years before bottling.
