Enhanced barrel programs for Remus Bourbon and
Rossville Rye showcase the depth and
breadth of the distillery's collection of high-rye bourbon and rye
whiskey
ST.
LOUIS, May 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The historic
Lawrenceburg, Indiana-based Ross
& Squibb Distillery announced enhancements to its
Remus Straight Bourbon Whiskey and Rossville Union Straight
Rye Whiskey Single Barrel programs for 2024. The distillery is
offering unique kits for each brand with the option to experience a
private, guided tasting of the selections with Master Distiller Ian
Stirsman either in-person at the distillery or virtually.
"We've set aside some outstanding barrels for our Remus and
Rossville Single Barrel selections, each with a distinctive
profile," said Stirsman. "For those customers who are interested in
coming to the distillery, I'm looking forward to personally showing
them around and helping them pick out a barrel they will love."
The in-person private barrel-selection opportunities take place
at the distillery and are offered on a reservation-only basis. The
onsite experience includes a tour of the 175-year-old distillery
and a private sampling in the distillery's tasting room. The
distillery does not offer public tours, which makes the in-person
barrel program experience truly special for fans of Remus and
Rossville Union.
Virtual tastings and selections also can be coordinated with
customers who order either a Remus or a Rossville Single Barrel
program selection kit. The custom selection kits are packaged in a
handsome natural wood case containing a sample of three different
mash bills, branded glassware and in-depth information about each
of the offerings. All virtual tastings are either led by Stirsman
or a member of the barrel team.
