George Remus Straight Bourbon Whiskey

George Remus Straight Bourbon delivers a bold yet approachable spirit rooted in high-rye character and American craft bourbon tradition. With its solid balance of sweetness and spice, it makes for a versatile everyday bourbon—perfect neat, on ice, or in classic cocktails.

Origins & Craftsmanship
Named after the famous Prohibition-era “King of the Bootleggers” George Remus, this bourbon is crafted at the historic Ross & Squibb Distillery in Lawrenceburg, Indiana. It features a high-rye mash profile, multiple mash bills blended to add depth, and aging in charred American white-oak barrels for a minimum of five years. Bottled at 47% ABV (94 proof), it is non-chill-filtered, preserving full flavor and texture.

Tasting Profile

• Nose: Sweet maple and vanilla lead, joined by warm baking spice and a hint of rye-driven pepper.

• Palate: Smooth entry with caramel and brown sugar sweetness, then shifts into spiced rye—cinnamon, clove—underpinned by toasted oak and subtle dried fruit.

• Finish: Medium-long finish, warm and satisfying. The vanilla sweetness softly lingers alongside oak char and a gentle peppery warmth that invites another sip.
