Ross & Squibb Distillery Revamps Barrel Program for 2023
Ross & Squibb Distillery has announced enhancements to its barrel program for 2023.
Remus Straight Bourbon Whiskey Single Barrel now features updated, custom labels providing details such as the name of the purchaser/retail account, the year selected, the number and mash bill of the barrel, and the proof point at which the bourbon was bottled.
The selection process has also been enhanced. In addition to its mailed sample-kit option for barrel selection, Ross & Squibb Distillery now offers private barrel selection opportunities with Master Distiller Ian Stirsman at the Lawrenceburg, Indiana distillery. The on-site experience includes a tour of the 175 year old distillery and a private tasting/sampling in the distillery’s tasting room and Customer Innovation Center.
For 2023, Remus Bourbon barrels aged between 4-5 years have been set aside for the program. Customers can choose from among three mash bills (51% corn/39% rye/10% malted rye, 75% corn/21% rye/4% barley malt, or 60% corn/36% rye/4% barley malt), which can be bottled at three different proof ranges (103.8, 109.1, or 113.2). Each barrel yields approximately 30 6-bottle cases, with a suggested retail price of $59.99 per bottle.
Ross & Squibb Distillery’s barrel program also includes Rossville Union Rye Single Barrel offerings. Select barrels of 4-5 year old barrels have been set aside. Customers can select from among three mash bills (95% rye/5% barley malt, 51% rye/49% barley malt, or 51% rye/45% corn/4% barley malt), which can be bottled at three different proof points (102.5, 108.2, or 112.2). Each barrel yields approximately 30 6-bottles cases, with a suggested retail price of $59.99 per bottle.
