Ross & Squibb Distillery Re-energizes Barrel Program for 2023 with New
Packaging, In-distillery Private-Selection Option
Revamped barrel programs showcase the depth and breadth of the Lawrenceburg, Indiana, distillery’s collection of high-rye bourbon and rye whiskey
ST. LOUIS (August 3, 2023) – Lawrenceburg, Indiana-based Ross & Squibb Distillery announced
enhancements to its barrel programs for 2023.
New for 2023, Remus Straight Bourbon Whiskey Single Barrel will feature updated, custom
packaging. Each bottle features a new label providing more details, including the name of the
purchaser/retail account, the year selected, the number and mash bill of the barrel and the
proof point at which the bourbon was bottled.
The selection process has been enhanced as well. In addition to its mailed sample-kit option for
barrel selection, Ross & Squibb Distillery now offers private barrel-selection opportunities with
Master Distiller Ian Stirsman at the Lawrenceburg, Indiana, distillery on a pre-reservation-only
basis. The on-site experience includes a tour of the 175-year-old distillery and a private
tasting/sampling in the distillery’s tasting room and Customer Innovation Center, featuring a
stunning, custom-made Indiana-white-oak table with a base crafted to resemble the nearby
Carrol Cropper Bridge, which connects Indiana to Kentucky.
For 2023, 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; 75%
corn/21% rye/4% barley malt; or 60% corn/36% rye/4% barley malt), which can be bottled at
three different proof ranges (103.8. 109.1 or 113.2). Each barrel of 2023 Remus Straight
Bourbon Whiskey Single Barrel selected yields approximately 30 6-in cases, with a suggested
retail price of $59.99.
“We put a lot of time, energy and creativity into every barrel of whiskey we create, and we are
proud to share the fruits of those efforts with our customers through our barrel program,” said
Stirsman. “For those who are interested, I am especially excited to host our private selection
opportunities and provide an experience as memorable as the products we create.”
Ross & Squibb Distillery’s barrel program also includes Rossville Union Rye Single Barrel
offerings. Select barrels of four-to-five-year-old barrels have been set aside. Customers can
select from among three mash bills (95% rye/5% barley malt; 51% rye/49% barley malt; or 51%
rye/45% corn/4% barley malt), which can be bottled at three different proof points (102.5,
108.2 or 112.2). Each barrel of 2023 Rossville Union Rye Single Barrel yields approximately 30 6-
