Remus Bourbon is named for the “King of Bootleggers,” George Remus. The brand is known for its popular, limited-edition whiskeys. Recently, it announced its newest release, the Remus Master Distiller Experimental Series.
Remus Master Distiller Experimental Series
Produced by Ross & Squibb Distillery, the Remus Master Distiller Experimental Series only exists because of a “happy accident” when Master Distiller Ian Stirsman was surprised at the quality and complexity of a 2015 experimental barrel.
The first release, Master Distiller Experimental Series No. 1, was matured for nine years in a lightly charred, heavily toasted Seguin Moreau barrel with staves seasoned for two full years. The result is a 107-proof complex, memorable whiskey that (according to the brand) begins with a nose of cedar, port wine, and fig. Sipping it reveals notes of oak, toasted marshmallow, and chocolate. The finish is warming and lingering and ends with a mix of candied pecans, black walnuts, and leather.
“The Experimental Series is our new creative playground, where distilling heritage meets bold innovation,” Stirsman said in a press release.
“Our goal is to make our chapter in the long legacy of Remus Bourbon one that’s worth reading. I look forward to bringing something new to bourbon drinkers year after year.”
