If there’s one figure in the bourbon industry that deserves his own movie or television series, George Remus should be high up on the list. From humble beginnings as an immigrant from Russia, he went on to own a series of pharmacies stretching from Chicago to Cincinnati and beyond, all while acting as a defense attorney for bootleggers—and a renowned bootlegger in his own right, during the dark days of Prohibition.
The Remus Repeal Reserve Series VI Bourbon pays homage to this trailblazing whiskey magnate, with a blend of five bourbons that have been aging since between 2008 and 2014. Previous iterations of the Repeal Reserve Series have fetched awards at international spirits competitions, and we think this one will too; its combination of delicate leathery notes, punchy baking spices, and a warm soothing finish make it a real standout in the modern bourbon world.
