The historic Ross & Squibb Distillery (formerly MGP) in Lawrenceburg, IN, has 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 1925 novel, “The Great Gatsby,” Remus Gatsby Reserve comes bottled at 104.9 proof (52.45% ABV). It rolls out in limited quantities this month at a minimum suggested retail price of $229.99 per 750-ml. 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,” says 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, the distilery reports. Remus Gatsby Reserve culminates with a finish 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,” says 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 brand.
This follows the recent release of Remus Repeal Reserve Series VIII Straight Bourbon Whiskey.
