A flagship Straight Bourbon proves that Ross & Squibb saved some good stuff for themselves.

Remus Bourbon is named after a legendary Whiskey-man who operated on both sides of the law during Prohibition, earning the nickname "King of the Bootleggers." The Remus line-up is comprised of high-rye Bourbons aged over five years.

Owned by and made in one of the country’s most historic distilleries Ross & Squibb, Remus is perfectly blended from premium stock to become your go-to Bourbon.

First thing first… Remus is a line of really good Bourbon. It’s also the first flagship Bourbon produced, owned by Luxco. Remus Straight Bourbon is the entry-level for the range. The mash bill is not stated, but we know that Ross & Squibb has five Bourbon mash bills in production.

And while they could have blended them, we think the flavor profile suggests their 60% corn, 36% rye, and 4% malted barley mix. And it’s aged more than five years and bottled without chill-filtration at a lovely 47% ABV.

*Remus Bourbon has recently changed its labels, and as the original labels are being phased out, there is still a chance that you might receive a bottle different than what is pictured. But rest assured, the liquid remains the same, regardless of the label.

Smartass Corner:
The brand is named after George Remus — a renowned lawyer and bootlegger from the Prohibition era. He was arrested and convicted and allegedly served as inspiration for the title character The Great Gatsby in the novel of the same name by F. Scott Fitzgerald.

George Remus

A mild bourbon. Nose is vanilla and fruit. Taste is vanilla with some fruit and sweetness. Finish is smooth.

Syrupy, not overly sweet

Another top pick from the Advent calendar, this one has flavors of apple, maple, and honey.

Review

I think the Flaviar description is pretty spot on. A bourbon I enjoy sipping while reading The Ghosts of Eden Park.
