Remus Bourbon Introduces Master Distiller Experimental Series No. 2

Unveiling a New Chapter in Craftsmanship
Today marks a significant milestone in the world of whiskey with the announcement from Remus Bourbon regarding the release of its first-ever wheat whiskey, known as Remus Master Distiller Experimental Series No. 2. Produced at the esteemed Ross & Squibb Distillery in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, this 113-proof straight wheat whiskey sets the stage for bold innovation in the whiskey realm.

The new release builds upon the success of last year’s Experimental Series No. 1, which garnered a prestigious gold medal at the 2025 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. Designed as a platform for creative exploration, this limited-edition series allows Master Distiller Ian Stirsman to push the boundaries of whiskey crafting by experimenting with heirloom grains and unique barrel finishes.

A Unique Distillation Process

The inception of Remus Master Distiller Experimental Series No. 2 dates back to 2017. The whiskey undergoes a meticulous finishing process involving a blend of Tawny Port, White Port, Oloroso Sherry, and Ruby Port casks. This combination imparts a complex flavor profile characterized by distinct aromas of dark chocolate and almond praline. On the palate, whiskey enthusiasts will discover layers of rich chocolate, malty sweetness, and subtle earthy tones, culminating in a warm, lingering finish.

According to Stirsman, the freedom to explore and innovate is what makes distillation thrilling. "There is nothing more exciting to a Master Distiller than having the space for exploration," he stated. With this new series, he aimed to create something fresh and distinctive for the Remus brand, while honoring the time-honored traditions of whiskey-making in the region.

Availability and Pricing

Remus Master Distiller Experimental Series No. 2 will be available in limited quantities across the nation, priced at a suggested retail of $69.99. Bottled at an impressive 113 proof (56.5% ABV), this whiskey comes in 700ml bottles, making it a perfect addition to any connoisseur's collection.

About Remus Bourbon

While Kentucky has long-held the reputation as the birthplace of bourbon, Lawrenceburg, Indiana, renowned for producing exceptional rye whiskey and high-rye bourbon, often goes overlooked. Under the skilled supervision of Master Distiller Ian Stirsman, Remus Bourbon features a unique formula that showcases the rich distilling legacy of the region, utilizing naturally filtered water from the Great Miami Aquifer. Inspired by the rebellious spirit of Prohibition and named after the infamous 'King of the Bootleggers', Remus Bourbon represents innovation and tradition hand in hand.

With both core offerings and rare, limited-edition releases, Remus Bourbon appeals to seasoned whiskey aficionados as well as newcomers eager to explore the complexities of American whiskey.
