Ross & Squibb Distillery (formerly MGP) has announced the return of the most-limited member of the Remus Bourbon family: Remus Gatsby Reserve 2023 Edition.
Named in celebration of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic novel, “The Great Gatsby”, Remus Gatsby Reserve comes bottled at cask strength at 98.1 proof.
Made by Master Distiller Ian Stirsman and the team at Ross & Squibb Distillery, Remus Gatsby Reserve contains 15-year-old straight bourbon whiskey from the 175-year-old Lawrenceburg, IN distillery. This year, Remus Gatsby Reserve features two bourbon mash bills: 75% corn, 21% rye, 4% barley malt; and 60% corn, 36% rye, 4% barley malt.
Hitting shelves this October, Remus Gatsby Reserve leads with aromas of caramel, candied dark fruit and saddle leather, with slight brown sugar and candied notes, the company reports. The palate contains flavors of caramel, oak, dark fruit syrup, candied raisins, char and brown sugar, while the finish has notes of saddle leather, cherry and oak.
“We have produced great bourbon whiskey over the years at Ross & Squibb, and the Remus Bourbon brand has provided our team an opportunity to showcase some of our best,” says Stirsman. “Remus Gatsby reserve provides a special opportunity to showcase the best of the best — including two different mash bills of some of the finest 15-year-old bourbons in our reserves. Remus Gatsby Reserve made quite an impact when it was launched last year, and the 2023 Edition is likely to follow suit as a highly sought-after member of the Remus Bourbon family.”
Remus Gatsby Reserve 2023 Edition rolls out in limited quantities at a minimum suggested retail price of $199.99 per 750-ml bottle.
