Ross & Squibb Announces 2025 Bottling of Remus Gatsby Reserve
Ross & Squibb Distillery of Lawrenceburg, IN (formerly MGP), has unveiled the 2025 release of Remus Gatsby Reserve.
This 15-year-old bourbon launches in celebration of the 100th anniversary of the publication of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic novel, “The Great Gatsby.”
“2025 marks the centennial of ‘The Great Gatsby,’ so we wanted to make this year’s expression of Remus Gatsby Reserve absolutely epic,” says 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.”
Created by Stirsman and his team, the 2025 edition of Remus Gatsby Reserve features Ross & Squibb’s historic 21% rye bourbon mash bill, offered at cask strength. This year’s expression has hints of cherry, vanilla and creamy oak on the nose, according to the distillery, followed by an initial sweetness of cherry, raisin and molasses, with a touch of pipe tobacco and Armagnac on the palate. The finish leaves notes of toasted oak and cherry.
“Our 2025 Remus Gatsby Reserve follows in the footsteps of its award-winning predecessors, while elevating our entire Remus Bourbon portfolio,” adds Stirsman. “This release showcases the best of what our distillery has to offer.”
The 2025 edition is packaged in an Art Deco-inspired bottle and decorative clamshell box reminiscent of the 1920s. To highlight the 100th anniversary of The Great Gatsby, consumers can scan the QR code on the bottle’s hang tag and point their camera at the front label for a Gatsby-esque fireworks celebration. In addition, special Gatsby-themed centennial events featuring the brand are planned for consumers in New York.
The Remus Gatsby Reserve 2025 Edition marks the fourth year for this line extension.
Remus Gatsby Reserve clocks in at 102.8 proof (51.4% ABV). It’s available in limited quantities this month at a minimum suggested retail price of $199.99 per 750-ml. bottle.
This follows the recent launch of Ross & Squibb Remus Repeal Reserve Series IX.
