After primary maturation it was married across four fortified-wine casks: Tawny Port, White Port, Oloroso Sherry, and Ruby Port, a four-way finish that gives the wheat spirit its dried-fruit weight. The Remus name itself nods to George Remus, the Cincinnati attorney turned Prohibition-era \"King of the Bootleggers\" whose story helped inspire Fitzgerald's Gatsby.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the nose, dark chocolate and almond praline lead, followed by port-soaked raisin, dried fig, and a curl of toasted oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the palate, milk-chocolate richness meets malty biscuit, black cherry, and warm baking spice, with a faint earthiness underneath that keeps the sweetness in check.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe finish is long and warming, chocolate and malt slowly giving way to a dry walnut note.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat sets the release apart is its place in the Experimental Series: where No. 1 explored the distillery's bourbon, No. 2 is a deliberate departure — a soft wheat mash instead of Remus's signature high-rye, and a multi-cask fortified finish the brand had never attempted before. It reads less like the flagship bourbon and more like a distiller's sketchbook bottled at cask-leaning strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServe neat in a Glencairn to let the port influence open; a square of dark chocolate or a wedge of aged nutty cheese is the natural pairing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is this whisky?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA limited straight wheat whiskey from Ross \u0026amp; Squibb, the first wheat and first cask-finished release in Remus's Master Distiller Experimental Series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the specs?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStraight wheat whiskey, distilled 2017, 113 proof (56.5% ABV), finished in Tawny Port, White Port, Oloroso Sherry, and Ruby Port casks, 700ml.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does it taste like?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDark chocolate, almond praline, and port-soaked raisin on the nose; milk chocolate, malty biscuit, and black cherry on the palate; a long chocolate-and-walnut finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow should you enjoy it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNeat in a Glencairn, ideally with dark chocolate or an aged nutty cheese.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy is this release notable?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt's the first wheat whiskey Remus has ever bottled and the first finished whiskey in the Experimental Series, married across four fortified-wine cask types.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"George Remus","offers":[{"title":"700ml","offer_id":50095903834360,"sku":"19259","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0352\/3140\/0072\/files\/remus-master-distiller-experimental-series-no-2-whiskey-700ml-keg-n-bottle-5550828.png?v=1785614191","url":"https:\/\/thebourboncentral.com\/products\/remus-master-distiller-experimental-series-no-2-whiskey-700ml","provider":"Bourbon Central","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
