Ross & Squibb Distillery has unveiled its Remus Repeal Reserve Series VI Straight Bourbon Whiskey. The limited-edition bourbon is the sixth-annual offering in the award-winning collection.
Created by master distiller Ian Stirsman and his team of master distillers and master blenders, Series VI comprises five bourbons, aged between 8-14 years, from its 175-year-old Lawrenceburg, Indiana, distillery. Made in a signature high-rye style, the medley changes each year, allowing Stirsman and his team to experiment with their various mash bills and aged reserves.
Remus Repeal Reserve Series VI is comprised of 2% 2008 Bourbon (21% Rye), 17% 2012 Bourbon (36% Rye), 27% 2012 Bourbon (21% Rye), 29% 2014 Bourbon (21% Rye), and 25% 2014 Bourbon (36% Rye). On the nose, it leads with aromas of rich candied fruit followed by a hint of nutmeg and saddle leather. The palate features candied fruit and fig jam, followed by oak and barrel char, mint and slight caramel, nutmeg, toffee and honey. The finish offers a balance of sweet candied fruit and leather, with lingering sweetness and rye spice.
“The Remus Repeal Reserve series provides our team the opportunity to showcase the incredible array of aged reserves available to work with, as well as our expertise at blending these bourbons to create a special medley each year,” said Stirsman. “Series VI is the latest in this award-winning collection that is certain to be yet another excellent example of what our Remus Repeal collection represents: what great bourbon can be.”
Bottled at 100 proof/50% ABV, Remus Repeal Reserve Series VI will be priced at $99.99 per 750-ml bottle and will be available in limited quantities in September to coincide with National Bourbon Heritage Month.
