Accounts and bourbon groups are invited to experience the Remus Distiller’s Vault barrel program – and make a barrel pick from Master Distiller Ian Stirsman’s private collection of Remus Straight Bourbon Whiskey aged 7, 9 or 11 years.

Stirsman set aside some of Ross and Squibb's most interesting and unique barrels for the Remus Distiller's Vault Single Barrel program. The limited selection of barrels is reserved for those who want to go behind the scenes at Ross & Squibb for the ultimate experience to hand-select the perfect bourbon alongside Stirsman.

"Distiller's Vault takes the barrel pick process to a much more personal level than we've done before," said Stirsman. "It's a chance for accounts to get a rare behind-the-scenes experience and select some really unique barrels."

Customers will choose from three different options:
11-Year Bourbon with a mash bill of 36% rye

  • Available in 115.2 proof (57.6% ABV) and 116.8 proof (58.4% ABV) varieties, with a minimum suggested retail price of $69.99 per 700mL bottle
