The 2024 version of Remus Gatsby Reserve is made up of two different mash bills. The first is 75% corn, 21% rye, 4% barley malt, and the second is 36% rye, 4% barley malt. Matured for fifteen years, this 104.9 proof is known (according to the distillery) for its nose of leather and tobacco and a palate of cherry syrup, walnut, and oaky wood. The finish is lingering, warm, and loaded with flavors like walnut, fig, and roasted almonds,

He added, “We’ve produced exceptional bourbon whiskey over the years at Ross & Squibb – and we worked to elevate our Gatsby Reserve even further to create a truly legendary pour that pays homage to the distilling craft and the spirit of the Roaring ’20s.”
