Remus Bourbon, the award-winning whiskey produced by Ross & Squibb Distillery, announced the release of Remus Master Distiller Experimental Series No. 2, a 113-proof straight wheat whiskey, the first wheat whiskey ever released by the Remus brand.

Building on the acclaim of Experimental Series No. 1, including its gold medal win at the 2025 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, the second installment continues the annual limited-edition program. 

Originally designed as an outlet for creative exploration, the series gives Master Distiller Ian Stirsman a blank canvas to push beyond traditional boundaries by exploring new heirloom grains and unique barrel finishes. The result each year is a one-of-a-kind expression defined by unconventional flavor profiles, depth, and innovation that is made for adventurous whiskey connoisseurs and collectors.

“There is nothing more exciting to a Master Distiller than having the space for exploration,” Stirsman said in a news release. “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.”

Distilled in 2017, Remus Master Distiller Experimental Series No. 2 is finished in a combination of Tawny Port, White Port, Oloroso Sherry, and Ruby Port casks. 

Remus Master Distiller Experimental Series No. 2 will be available in limited quantities nationwide for a suggested retail price of $69.99. Bottled at 113 proof (56.5% ABV), the release will be offered in 700ml bottles.
