  • The Craft Whiskey Collective presents Frey Ranch

    $30.00 per person

    Prepaid

    Apr 9, 2025 only
    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.

    We didn’t have food there. We went for the bourbon experience, and it was fun. John and Taylor have excellent bourbon knowledge, and their stories are hilarious. I would recommend the experience.

    I ordered the mushroom shawarma. It lacked seasoning and tasted nothing like shawarma. It was bland, had no flavor and was a bit gritty. My friend had the tomato soup and said there was a prevalent olive flavor. She doesn't like olives, so she didn't enjoy it. The potato chips were good, but I don't think it was made in-house. I've been to Slightly Toasted a few times and this is the first time the food was meh. The service was good.

    Slightly toasted is your one stop shop for all things craft beer, bourbon and incredible service. By far some of the best tacos I've ever had.
