Slightly Toasted

Join Slightly Toasted and The Craft Whiskey Collective are bringing a true grain-to-glass experience to Chicago with Frey Ranch Distillery. Nestled in the heart of Northern Nevada, Frey Ranch is one of the few distilleries in the country that grows, malts, distills, and bottles 100% of its whiskey on-site. With over 165 years of agricultural expertise behind them, husband-and-wife team Colby & Ashley Frey have turned their family farm into one of the most respected craft whiskey operations in the country. At this event, Colby & Ashley will guide us through three of their flagship expressions: their 90-proof bourbon, straight rye, and farm-strength bourbon. Additionally, we’ve requested that we get the opportunity to try their 100% Oat Whiskey, which is a distillery-only release - you won’t want to miss that! Each guest will receive a curated tasting kit with 1oz pours of each expression, and the Freys will join us live via Zoom to walk through the tasting notes, the farm-to-bottle process, and the history of their family’s legacy. Colby will also take us on a virtual tour of the distillery, fermentation room, and barrel house, offering an inside look at what makes their whiskey unique.
