Distilled in 2017, it represents the first wheat whiskey released under the Remus name and the brand's first finished whiskey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe whiskey uses Ross \u0026amp; Squibb's wheat-forward LKSV mash bill, containing 95% wheat with malted barley making up the remainder. The high wheat content creates a naturally soft, malty foundation that provides a distinctive base for the release's complex secondary maturation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExperimental Series No. 2 is finished using four different fortified-wine cask types: Tawny Port, White Port, Ruby Port, and Oloroso Sherry. Together, these casks add layers of dark fruit, chocolate, nuttiness, and wine-driven richness to the underlying wheat whiskey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBottled at 113 proof, the finished whiskey retains considerable intensity while showcasing a profile centered on dark chocolate, almond praline, malt sweetness, earthiness, and warming nutty notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dark chocolate, almond praline, dried fruit, sweet malt, and subtle fortified-wine richness\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chocolate, malty sweetness, dark fruit, gentle earthiness, and warming oak\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lingering and warm with chocolate and malt gradually developing into soft nuttiness\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Makes It Special\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExperimental Series No. 2 marks two firsts for Remus: the brand's first straight wheat whiskey and its first release to incorporate a secondary cask finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts 95% wheat mash bill also separates it from the high-rye bourbons most closely associated with Ross \u0026amp; Squibb. Wheat brings a softer grain character and malty sweetness, providing a different foundation for the distillery's experimental approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe combination of Tawny Port, White Port, Ruby Port, and Oloroso Sherry casks is particularly distinctive. Rather than relying on a single finishing barrel, the release brings together four fortified-wine influences, creating layers of dried fruit, chocolate, sweetness, earthiness, and nuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the second installment in the Master Distiller Experimental Series, the whiskey reflects Master Distiller Ian Stirsman's focus on uncommon grain recipes and barrel treatments while showcasing a side of Ross \u0026amp; Squibb beyond its better-known rye and high-rye bourbon production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnjoy Remus Master Distiller Experimental Series No. 2 neat in a whiskey glass to experience its concentrated chocolate, malt, dark-fruit, and nutty character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 113 proof, allowing the whiskey to rest for several minutes can help its aromas open before tasting. A few drops of water may soften the alcohol while bringing additional malt sweetness, chocolate, fruit, and almond notes forward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt can also be served over one large ice cube, although drinking it neat or with a small amount of water provides the clearest expression of its unusual four-cask finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1.
