Ross & Squibb Distillery (Lawrenceburg IN) announced the latest member of the Remus Bourbon family: Remus Gatsby Reserve.
Released to celebrate F. Scott Fitzgerald’s legendary novel, “The Great Gatsby”, a century ago – from its events in 1922 to its publication
in 1925 – Remus Gatsby Reserve is bottled at 97.8 proof (48.9 ABV) with a minimum suggested retail price of $199.99 per 750-ml bottle.
Per the brand, Remus Gatsby Reserve was crafted by master distiller Ian Stirsman and his team at Ross & Squibb Distillery, Remus Gatsby using the distillery’s finest 15-year-old reserves of straight bourbon whiskey and is offered at cask strength. Hitting shelves this October, Remus Gatsby Reserve leads with rich aromas of dried candied fruit, caramelized pecans, charred oak and tobacco, and the taste profile is characterized by flavors of candied fruit, syrup, leather, and cherry, while the finish lingers with notes of cinnamon, char, and oak.
“The Remus Bourbon brand has provided our team an opportunity to showcase the great bourbon whiskey produced at Ross & Squibb,” said Stirsman. “Like the Remus Repeal Reserve series, Remus Gatsby Reserve gave us a chance to showcase some of the best bourbons we have – in this case, some of the finest 15-year-old bourbons in our reserves. Remus Gatsby Reserve is certain to be a highly sought-after member of the Remus Bourbon family, particularly given its limited production.”
Remus Straight Bourbon Whiskey and the Remus Repeal Reserve series continue to achieve
some of the highest recognition in the bourbon category, with both Remus Bourbon and Remus
Repeal Reserve Series V earning Gold in the 2022 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, and the “Master” award at the 2022 American Whiskey Masters Competition.
