Ross & Squibb's 2024 edition of the
ultra-limited Remus expression, made with 15-year-old reserves,
features two signature mash bills inspired by the Roaring '20s and
the time of Gatsby
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.
"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."
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."
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
