George Remus Repeal Reserve VIII Bourbon 2024 Medley 750mL

A Bold & Complex High-Rye Bourbon Aged 10-17 Years

Remus Repeal Reserve Series VIII is the latest limited-edition release in the award-winning Remus Repeal Reserve collection, celebrating the repeal of Prohibition on December 5, 1933. Crafted from a carefully selected blend of three high-rye bourbons aged between 10 and 17 years, this 101-proof bourbon delivers an exceptionally rich and full-bodied profile.
