Remus Gatsby Reserve Review:
When news of this bourbon broke a few weeks back, we got excited here at the Bourbon Lens. Not knowing if this limited release would find its way to us, we are extremely grateful to have received a sample. When you think of Gatsby, you think of over the top and extravagance, so let’s dive in and see what it is all about!
Just the Facts:
Proof: 97.8
Age: 15 Years Old
Mash Bill: Undisclosed
Style: Straight Bourbon Whiskey
MSRP: $199.00
Jake’s Tasting Notes: Remus Gatsby Reserve
Color: Dark Amber
Nose: Rich dark oak, baking spices, slight orange zest, and dried cherry.
Palate: Very approachable for a 15-year-old pour. The oak tannins can sometimes be overwhelming on a pour like this. The rich complexity of stone fruits, plum and cherry, are very subtle. The soft chocolatey undertones allow the sweetness of the dark fruits to shine through.
Finish: Long and Lingering
Closing Thoughts
This pour is as big as the roaring 20’s. It is bold and full of flavor; it doesn’t disappoint when it comes to living up to the era to which it pays homage. If you are looking for a top quality holiday pour this year, this Indiana Straight Bourbon Whiskey might be the big bold pour for you!
