The Most Limited Member of the Remus Bourbon Family
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — It’s enough to make Daisy Buchanan swoon. The historic Ross & Squibb Distillery in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, announced the return of the most-limited member of the Remus Bourbon family: Remus Gatsby Reserve 2024 Edition. Released to celebrate the era of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s legendary 1925 novel, “The Great Gatsby” – Remus Gatsby Reserve is bottled at 104.9 proof (52.45% ABV) and will be offered in ultra-limited quantities this month at a minimum suggested retail price of $229.99 per 750mL bottle.
Contains 15-Year-Old Reserves
“Our 2024 Gatsby Reserve is a rich and beautiful expression that contains some of our distillery’s finest 15-year-old reserves of straight bourbon whiskey,” said Ross & Squibb Distillery Master Distiller Ian Stirsman. “This year’s release is a testament to crafting exceptional bourbon and showcasing the best we have to offer.”
Mash Bills & Tasting Notes From The Brand
Created by Stirsman and his team, the 2024 edition of Remus Gatsby Reserve features two bourbon mash bills (75% corn, 21% rye, 4% barley malt; and 60% corn, 36% rye, 4% barley malt) and is offered at cask strength. This year’s expression brings forward notes of antique leather and tobacco on the nose followed by an initial sweetness of cherry syrup mingling with the earthy richness of walnut and oak on the palate. Remus Gatsby Reserve culminates with a finish that lingers, revealing hints of walnut, fig and roasted almonds.
“We’ve produced exceptional bourbon whiskey over the years at Ross & Squibb – and we worked to elevate our Gatsby Reserve even further to create a truly legendary pour that pays homage to the distilling craft and the spirit of the Roaring ’20s,” said Stirsman. “This 2024 edition delivers on every point and is likely to become the most highly sought-after member of the Remus Bourbon family.”
Packaging & Awards
Packaged in a distinctive Art-Deco-inspired bottle reminiscent of the 1920s, the Remus Gatsby Reserve 2024 Edition marks the third year for the award-winning brand. The inaugural 2022 expression of Remus Gatsby Reserve and the 2023 edition have achieved some of the highest recognitions in the bourbon category, including Double Platinum at the ASCOT Awards, a Double Gold at the SIP Awards, and a Gold from the San Franciso World Spirits Competition. Additionally, the Robb Report named the 2023 edition “One of the Top 50 Bourbons of the Century.” To learn more or to find a bottle, visit RemusBourbon.com.
