Ross & Squibb Launches Ultra-Limited Release: Remus Gatsby Reserve
Latest Remus expression, made with 15-year-old reserves, honors F. Scott Fitzgerald’s iconic 1920s novel ‘The Great Gatsby’ and marks brand’s evolution towards the Roaring 20s experience.
LAWRENCEBURG, Ind. (Sept. 29, 2022) – Ross & Squibb Distillery announced the latest member
of the Remus Bourbon family: Remus Gatsby Reserve. Released to celebrate F. Scott Fitzgerald’s
legendary novel, “The Great Gatsby”, a century ago – from its events in 1922 to its publication
in 1925 – Remus Gatsby Reserve is bottled at 97.8 proof (48.9 ABV) and offered in ultra-limited
quantities at a minimum suggested retail price of $199.99 per 750-ml bottle.
Crafted by master distiller Ian Stirsman and his team at Ross & Squibb Distillery, Remus Gatsby
Reserve is made with the 175-year-old Lawrenceburg, Indiana, distillery’s finest 15-year-old
reserves of straight bourbon whiskey and is offered at cask strength. Hitting shelves this
October, Remus Gatsby Reserve leads with rich aromas of dried candied fruit, caramelized
pecans, charred oak and tobacco, and the taste profile is characterized by flavors of candied
fruit, syrup, leather, and cherry, while the finish lingers with notes of cinnamon, char, and oak.
“The Remus Bourbon brand has provided our team an opportunity to showcase the great
bourbon whiskey produced at Ross & Squibb,” said Stirsman. “Like the Remus Repeal Reserve
series, Remus Gatsby Reserve gave us a chance to showcase some of the best bourbons we
have – in this case, some of the finest 15-year-old bourbons in our reserves. Remus Gatsby
Reserve is certain to be a highly sought-after member of the Remus Bourbon family, particularly
given its limited production.”
Shanae Randolph, Brand Manager
“The Remus Bourbon brand is inspired by the finest bourbon of the Prohibition era, and ‘The
Great Gatsby’ offers arguably the most well-known depiction of those times,” said Shanae
Randolph, brand manager for Remus Bourbon. “With its Art-Deco-inspired design, Remus Gatsby
Reserve will serve as yet another authentic way for the Remus brand to transport bourbon fans
back to the excitement of the Roaring 20s.”
Remus Straight Bourbon Whiskey and the Remus Repeal Reserve series continue to achieve
some of the highest recognition in the bourbon category, with both Remus Bourbon and Remus
Repeal Reserve Series V earning Gold in the 2022 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, as
well as the 2022 ASCOT Awards. Additionally, Remus Repeal Reserve Series V earned a 98-point
rating by Tasting Panel Magazine and was named among the best bourbon releases of the year
by Men’s Journal, UPROXX, Fred Minnick and Paste Magazine.
