Remus Gatsby Reserve Bourbon — Remus

Even if you aren’t Jay Gatsby, you can still drink like the fictional F. Scott Fitzgerald character thanks to the folks at Lawrenceburg, Indiana’s Ross & Squibb Distillery. That’s because it recently announced the return of its popular Remus Gatsby Reserve Bourbon.

Remus Gatsby Reserve Bourbon

This is the fourth edition of the popular Remus Gatsby Reserve. The 2025 edition was matured for a minimum of fifteen years. Released to celebrate the 100th anniversary of “The Great Gatsby”, this limited-edition expression is bottled at a potent 102.8-proof.

According to Ross & Squibb, the result is a multi-layered, complex bourbon made with a mash bill featuring 21% rye. The nose is a mix of toasted vanilla beans, candied cherries, and oaky wood. The palate is centered on dried cherries, raisins, molasses cookies, pipe tobacco, and a touch of Armagnac. The finish is long, lingering, warm, and ends with a smattering of toasted oak and cherry.

“2025 marks the centennial of ‘The Great Gatsby,’ so we wanted to make this year’s expression of Remus Gatsby Reserve absolutely epic,” said Ross & Squibb Distillery Master Distiller Ian Stirsman. “We hand-selected our finest 15-year-old straight bourbon whiskey barrels from our reserves and expertly blended them to create a legendary pour. This year’s release showcases Remus Bourbon at its best.”

Where can I buy it?

Remus Gatsby Reserve is available in extremely limited quantities at select retailers throughout the US for the suggested retail price of $199.99 per 750mL bottle. Visit https://remusbourbon.com/ for more information about this and other Remus releases.

The best beers to pair with your summer yard games

Anderson Valley

When it comes to leisure activities during the summer months, it’s difficult to beat the appeal of a round of yard games. What could be more fun on a hot, sunny day than besting your friends and siblings in an epic backyard brawl? I can’t think of anything.

I’m talking about games like croquet, lawn darts, bocce, ladder ball, cornhole, and more. The only thing that makes the experience better is having a frosty, refreshing beer firmly in one of your hands. But just like how you don’t enjoy every yard game, not just any beer will do.

Jagermeister goes citrus with new orange release

Alcohol, Beverage, Liquor

Alcohol is the ultimate gathering tool. No matter what event you have coming up, you can almost always bet on a good drink (unless it is a baby shower; then maybe not). From the moment I joined the United States Army, I became quite familiar with the presence of Jagermeister. It was a constant pillar of our get-togethers for two main reasons. The first was that we didn’t make a lot of money, and it has always been one of the more accessible liquors when we walked down the booze aisles of the Class 6 (picture a 711 on a military post). The second reason is that it is the perfect shot drink. It never needed a mixer. It is designed to be poured as a shot straight from the freezer. However, Jager is also versatile enough to make some great cocktails. Now, the brand dropped the perfect summer upgrade with an orange twist.

Jagermeister has always been about bringing people together. – Cindy Wang Simms, CMO,Jägermeister US.

Bib & Tucker’s first bottled-in-bond bourbon is aged twice the legal minimum

Alcohol, Beverage, Liquor

Bib & Tucker is releasing its first bottled-in-bond bourbon, and the Columbia, Tennessee brand went well past what the designation actually asks for.

Bottled-in-bond is one of the oldest and strictest standards in American whiskey. The Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897 requires that a whiskey be distilled in a single season by a single distiller at a single distillery, aged at least four years in a federally bonded warehouse, and bottled at exactly 100 proof. No wiggle room on any of it.
