First Ever Remus Wheat Whiskey! Is It A Jam Session?

/ bourbonjourney

George Remus is making history with his first-ever Wheat Whiskey! 🌾🥃

In this episode, we’re diving into the Remus Master Distiller Experimental Series No. 2, a groundbreaking 95% wheat whiskey release from Ross & Squibb Distillery. Distilled in 2017 and bottled at a robust 113 proof, this “Quatro” finish is a masterclass in secondary aging. Master Distiller Ian Stirsman has taken this rare LKSV mashbill and finished it in a unique combination of four different casks: Tawny Port, White Port, Oloroso Sherry, and Ruby Port.

Is it a “jam session” in a bottle? We’re breaking down the complex layers—from the bready, bakery-style wheat notes to the intense red fruit and unexpected black pepper finish. We’ll also share our experience picking this up at Lux Row Distillers in Bardstown and why we think this $69.99 bottle is a “must-buy” for any collector.
