Remus Debuts 95% Wheat Whiskey in Experimental Series

Remus Bourbon Unveils First Wheat Whiskey in Experimental Series

Remus 2017 Experimental Series No. 2 introduces Remus Bourbon’s first-ever wheat whiskey, marking a bold step for the Indiana-based brand. Known for its innovative annual Experimental Series, this second installment pushes boundaries with a 95% wheat mash bill, crafted under the expert guidance of Master Distiller Ian Stirsman. Bottled at 113 proof (56.5% ABV), this straight wheat whiskey exemplifies the brand’s dedication to creative exploration and craftsmanship.

Maturation & Flavor Profile

Distilled in 2017 at the historic Ross & Squibb Distillery, this edition is finished in a distinctive blend of Tawny Port, White Port, Oloroso Sherry, and Ruby Port casks. This unique combination lends rich layers of flavor that blend dark chocolate and almond praline aromas with a malty sweetness and subtle earthiness on the palate. The lingering finish reveals notes of chocolate and malt, gradually fading into a warm, gentle nuttiness.

Master Blender’s Statement

“There is nothing more exciting to a Master Distiller than having the space for exploration. With Series No. 2, I set out to create something entirely new for Remus by working with our LKSV 95% wheat whiskey mash bill for the first time. It’s a continuation of our commitment to innovation while respecting the deep-rooted heritage of our distillery.” — Master Distiller Ian Stirsman
