This National Bourbon Heritage Month, the Prohibition Era-Inspired Brand Debuts Its Highest-Proof Repeal Reserve Yet, Alongside a Landmark First for the Brand

George Remus Bourbon expands its award-winning portfolio with Remus Repeal Reserve Series X (left) and the brand's first-ever rye whiskey, Remus Rye (right).

For the last decade, the Remus Repeal Reserve Series has honored the repeal of Prohibition with an evolving annual blend inspired by the legendary “King of the Bootleggers,” George Remus. Series X is bottled at 107 proof and features a blend of three mash bills, the historic LBSV, LESV and the rarely seen LISV recipe — for the first time. A complex medley of multiple batches aged between 2008 and 2017, Series X is expertly blended by Master Distiller Ian Stirsman. The nose offers French oak layered with vanilla, tobacco, and dark chocolate; the palate unfolds with almond croissant and vanilla alongside balanced oak and a subtle pistachio richness; and the finish is smooth and indulgent, carrying English toffee and candied almond.

This year, Remus is also celebrating the repeal of Prohibition with the introduction of Remus Repeal Reserve Rye Whiskey. This limited-edition straight rye, a first for the brand, is comprised of 2015 and 2016 reserves of Remus' signature 95% rye mash bill, bottled at 111 proof. The nose reveals butterscotch, caramel, French oak, and cardamom with a palate of mint, star anise, toffee, and fennel. The finish closes with candy-coated fennel seed.

“Series X captures everything the Repeal Reserve collection has stood for over the last ten years, pushing the boundaries of what a blended bourbon can be while honoring the history behind it,” said Ian Stirsman, Master Distiller at Ross & Squibb Distillery. “And with our first-ever rye, we get to show a different side of our expertise. We’re proud to share both releases as a true reflection of our craft.”

Remus Repeal Reserve Series X and Remus Repeal Reserve Rye Whiskey will be available at select retailers nationwide beginning this September, while supplies last, for a suggested retail price of $79.99. For more information, visit remusbourbon.com or follow on Instagram @remusbourbon.

Key Terms

mash bills technical

A mash bill is the recipe of grains (for example corn, rye, barley, wheat) ground and mixed with water to start fermentation when making whiskey or other grain spirits. For investors, it matters because the mash bill helps determine a product's legal classification, flavor profile, production cost and supply needs—similar to how an ingredient list shapes a food brand's taste, cost and market positioning.

straight rye regulatory

Straight rye is a type of distilled whiskey made from a mash containing at least 51% rye grain and matured for a minimum period in new charred oak barrels, with no added flavors or colors allowed on the label. For investors, the term signals legal quality standards and ageing requirements that affect production costs, inventory timing and brand positioning—similar to a recipe with strict ingredients and a required baking time that shapes price, margins and consumer demand.

proof technical

Proof is documented evidence or convincing data that supports a company’s claim—such as that a product works, a technology performs as promised, or a reported result is genuine. For investors it matters because proof reduces uncertainty and helps separate marketing from reality, much like a receipt or photo confirms a purchase; stronger, verifiable proof typically lowers risk and can increase confidence in a firm’s future prospects.
