Ross and Squibb announced on Wednesday that the the Luxco-owned whiskey distillery is elevating its Remus Straight Bourbon Whiskey and Rossville Union Straight Rye Whiskey Single Barrel programs for 2024. Some of the enhancements include custom tasting kits, guided tasting experiences from Master Distiller Ian Stirsman and in-person distillery visits.
“We’ve set aside some outstanding barrels for our Remus and Rossville Single Barrel selections, each with a distinctive profile,” Stirsman said. “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.”
Those interested in visiting the distillery for the private barrel selection program must make a reservation ahead of time, as Ross and Squibb is not open to the public. The experience includes a tour and private sampling.
If a trek to the distillery is not in the cards for those interested in the barrel selection program, Ross and Squibb can send a custom selection kit encased in wood with three samples for customers to taste on their own time. Guided virtual tastings can be scheduled with a member of the team or with Stirsman.
In July, Ross and Squib released the Remus Highest Rye Straight Bourbon Whiskey. The whiskey was added to the brand’s core line and hosted a mashbill of 51% corn, 39% rye and 10% malted rye. Stirsman claimed it honored the brand’s “rye tradition,” with its distinctively high rye mashbill.
