MGP
Announces Remus Repeal Reserve Series III
By FBWorld Team
MGP
will release Remus Repeal Reserve Series III Straight Bourbon
Whiskey this November 2019. Produced to commemorate Prohibition
Repeal Day, Series III is a limited bottling that debuts annually
on November 13, the birthdate of brand namesake George Remus.
This release is accompanied with a tasting series that leads
up to December 5, National Prohibition Repeal Day. MGP is also
planning a holiday release of Remus Volstead Reserve Straight
Bourbon Whiskey, a bottled-in-bond, 14-year aged Bourbon timed
with the 100th Anniversary of the start of Prohibition - under
the Volstead Act.
"We're
privileged to have some of the country's most extensive, aged
Bourbons, and are continuing to build our limited release program
every year," says Andrew Mansinne, Vice President of Brands,
MGP. "Remus Repeal Reserve is now in its third year and
delivers a bold, high-rye profile that weaves the best of our
2007/2008 Bourbons into a beautifully smooth style. Remus Volstead
Reserve is made from even older, 14-year aged reserves to further
commemorate the Prohibition era and our unique brand story.
Remus Volstead Reserve will never be repeated and is a rare
Bourbon that coincides with the release of Series III to make
this holiday season even more memorable for collectors."
Named
after the legendary "King of the Bootleggers," Remus
Repeal Reserve is an annual series from George Remus(r) Bourbon,
crafted at MGP's historic, 170-year-old distillery in Lawrenceburg,
Indiana. Made in a signature high-rye style, the medley changes
each year allowing the distillery team to experiment with their
various mash bills and cask-aged reserves. Remus Repeal Reserve
Series III showcases a medley of two mash bills from 2007/2008.
It is comprised of 12%, 2007 Bourbon (21% Rye); 78%, 2008 Bourbon
(21% Rye); and 10%, 2008 Bourbon (36% Rye). The complex aroma
reveals maple with caramel, candied fruit, chocolate, baking
spice, smoke and leather with a balanced palate of caramelized
brown spice and a hint of rye on the finish. Highly anticipated,
Remus Repeal Reserve has achieved some of the industry's highest
awards, including a Double Gold in the 2019 San Francisco World
Spirits Competition and 98 points from Tasting Panel Magazine
for Remus Repeal Reserve Series II.
Also
crafted in Lawrenceburg, Remus Volstead Reserve is bottled-in-bond
from 2005 bourbons and bottled at 100-proof. Remus Volstead
Reserve has rich aromas of dried candied fruit, caramelized
pecans, oak, char and tobacco. Robust and rich oak flavors dominate
the forward palate and body of this bourbon. Balanced cherry
and caramel touches compliment the oak in the body and intensify
in the bourbon's finish. Pleasant notes of leather and spice
round out the finish, and oak and barrel char notes linger until
the next sip. Available as of November 2019, the packaging is
designed for collectors with a high-end glass bottle and commemorative
box. This limited, 2005-aged reserve Bourbon will never be repeated.
No more than 500 9-liter cases will be available for markets
where George Remus Bourbon is currently sold.
