George Remus Distiller’s Vault 11 Year — HI PROOF Store Pick

Some barrels are too good to go into the batch. At the historic Lawrenceburg, Indiana distillery (the old Seagram’s plant and the source of some of America’s most sought-after whiskey), Master Distiller Ian Stirsman quietly set aside a private collection of standout casks over the years. The Distiller’s Vault program opens that collection to a small number of accounts to hand-select a single barrel. This is ours.

Our pick is an 11-year-old straight bourbon on the classic 36% rye mash bill (60% corn / 36% rye / 4% malted barley), the high-rye recipe that built Lawrenceburg’s reputation. After more than a decade in the rickhouse, it shows the spice-forward backbone of the high-rye bourbon wrapped in deep, mature oak.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Dark cherry, caramel, cinnamon and clove, with toasted oak and a hint of mint
• Palate: Rich and oily. Brown sugar and vanilla up front, then a wave of rye spice, baking spices and orange peel
• Finish: Long and warm, with lingering oak, black pepper and leather

Single barrel, non-chill filtered at its natural strength, bottled in the distinctive fluted Distiller’s Vault bottle with a “Selected by HI PROOF” label. Limited to the bottles this one barrel yielded. Once it’s gone, it’s gone.
