George Remus Single Barrel Cask Strength Bourbon Whiskey 75cl

George Remus Single Barrel Cask Strength Indiana Bourbon Whiskey 75cl

Have you heard of George Remus bourbon? I didn’t think so. Have you heard of MGP? The company that produces the bourbon (and rye whiskey) that shows up in some of your favourite brands? Well, the folks at MGP decided that they would take some of that bourbon and bottle it up and sell it themselves. One version is this George Remus Single Barrel Bourbon. You know what? It’s pretty good!

Ideal for bourbon lovers and collectors, Remus® Single Barrel Bourbon is an annual release offered at barrel strength in three mash bills – with each featuring its own unique, high proof flavor profile.

Each year, barrels are selected by participating retailers from our historic Ross & Squibb Distillery in Lawrenceburg, Indiana. With no two retailers’ barrels tasting alike, Remus Single Barrel offers a new sipping experience in every bottle.

Single Barrel doesn’t stay on shelves for long, so check out The Pickup to find a bottle near you. And if you want your local retailer to carry it, just tell ’em Remus sent you.

The George Remus line of bourbons is named after, well, George Remus. If you have the time he’s worth reading about; it’s an amazing story. He was a pharmacist, then a lawyer, then a supplier of medicinal alcohol during prohibition, then he stole his alcohol from himself to sell illegally, made lots of money, went to jail, got out and murdered his wife (who took all his money and had an affair with the FBI agent who put him away). Oh yeah, and he defended himself with a variant of the temporary insanity defense; apparently he was the first to use that. Like I said; quite a story!?

Tasting notes

👉Nose: Sweet vanilla, caramel, cedar, leather & some rye spice; lots of alcohol burn
👉Taste: Sweet, rye, caramel, oak, char
👉Finish: Long with a fairly strong burn, but there’s a sweetness in there too. A rich sugar sweetness like from Demerara sugar. Subtle notes of cedar and rye are hiding behind the heat, with some barrel char, too
