Ross & Squibb Distillery Master Distiller Ian Stirsman has unveiled the Remus Repeal Reserve Series VII Straight Bourbon Whiskey. The limited-edition bourbon is the seventh-annual offering of the distillery’s award-winning collection.
Created by Stirsman and the distillery’s team of master distillers and master blenders, Series VII is comprised of barrels aged between 9 and 16 years from its 175-year-old Lawrenceburg, Indiana distillery. Made in Ross & Squibb’s signature high-rye style, Remus Repeal Reserve features a new medley of bourbons each year, allowing Stirsman and his team to experiment with their various mash bills and aged reserves.
Remus Repeal Reserve Series VII is comprised of 6% 2007 Bourbon (21% Rye), 26% 2013 Bourbon (21% Rye), 26% 2013 Bourbon (36% Rye), 21% 2014 Bourbon (21% Rye), and 21% 2014 Bourbon (36% Rye). The bourbon leads with aromas of caramelized pecans, candied cherry, and maple syrup. The taste begins with rich caramel, maple, and candied raisin, leading to a candied cherry, barrel char, and rich cinnamon body. The finish delivers intense cinnamon and peppermint spice, with lingering notes of vanilla, caramel and oak.
“We believe we have some of the best whiskey in the world aging here at the Ross & Squibb Distillery. The Remus Repeal Reserve series allows our team the opportunity to showcase these great spirits, as well as showcase our expertise at blending our best barrels to create a special medley each year,” said Stirsman. “As the latest in this award-winning collection, Series VII is certain to be a highly sought-after and much-enjoyed member of the Remus Repeal Reserve family.”
Bottled at 100 proof (50% ABV), Series VII retails for $99.99 per 750 ml bottle and will be available in limited quantities starting in September in honor of National Bourbon Heritage Month. For more information, head over to the brand’s official website.
