Ross & Squibb Distillery Revamps Barrel Program for 2024
Ross & Squibb Distillery has 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.
The in-person private barrel selection opportunities take place at the distillery and are offered on a reservation-only basis. The on-site experience includes a tour of the 175 year old distillery and a private sampling in the distillery’s tasting room.
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 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.
For 2024, 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, 60% corn/36% rye/4% barley malt, or 75% corn/21% rye/4% barley malt), which can be bottled at three different proofs (108.5, 115.2 or 118.1). Each barrel yields approximately 30 6-bottle cases of 750 mL bottles, with a suggested retail price of $59.99 per bottle.
The Rossville Union Rye Single Barrel 2024 program includes barrels aged between 4-5 years. Customers can select from among three mash bills (95% rye/5% barley, 51% rye/49% barley, or 51% rye/45% corn/4% barley), which can be bottled at three different proofs (108.2, 115.1 or 117.9). Each barrel of 2024 Rossville Union Rye Single Barrel yields approximately 30 6-bottle cases of 700 mL bottles, with a suggested retail price of $59.99.
