Recently, Ross & Squibb, the distillery behind the wildly popular Remus Bourbon, announced the launch of a new addition to the brand’s portfolio. It’s called Remus Master Distiller Experimental Series No. 2, and it’s the award-winning brand’s first foray into the world of wheat whiskey.

This special release is the second expression from the brand’s highly regarded Experimental Series. The first whiskey won numerous awards, including a gold medal at the 2025 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. The second installment is a wheat whiskey finished in a combination of Tawny Port, White Port, Oloroso Sherry, and Ruby Port casks.

According to the Remus Bourbon, the result is a complex, memorable 113-proof whiskey that begins with aromas of dark chocolate and candied almonds. The palate is centered on chocolate, malty sweetness, and gentle earthy flavor. The finish is long, lingering, and warm, ending with notes of chocolate, malt, and candied nuts.

“There is nothing more exciting to a Master Distiller than having the space for exploration,” Ian Stirsman, the Master Distiller at Ross & Squibb Distillery, says.

“With Series No. 2, I set out to create something entirely new for Remus by working  with our LKSV, 95% wheat whiskey mashbill for the first time. It’s a continuation of our  commitment to innovation while respecting the deep-rooted heritage of our distillery.”

Where can I buy it?

Remus Master Distiller Experimental Series No. 2 is currently available in limited quantities at select whiskey retailers throughout the US for the suggested retail price of $69.99 for a 700ml bottle.

Classic golf course beers you’ll want to drink this summer
Dale’s Pale Ale

If you’re anything like me, you’re going to spend at least another day or two on the golf course before the end of summer. You might not notice it, but the days are growing shorter, and fall is lurking on the horizon like a pumpkin spice-fueled monster. Your chances of spending sunny, humid days on the links are quickly dwindling. And while where you’re golfing and who you’re with is important, so too is what you’re drinking.

In my years of golfing and drinking, I’ve encountered myriad golf course cocktails, and I’ve found that while you can’t beat the classic flask of whiskey, there’s nothing better than a crisp, refreshing beer on a warm summer day spent enjoying 18 holes. Who cares if you’re hitting eagles or double bogeys left and right if you have a nice beer to sip?
