Ross & Squibb Distillery Unveils 15-Year Remus Gatsby Reserve Bourbon for 2025

Ross & Squibb Distillery is celebrating the 100th anniversary of The Great Gatsby with the highly anticipated release of the 2025 edition of Remus Gatsby Reserve 15-Year Bourbon. This rare, 102.8 proof expression showcases the distillery’s finest 15-year-old straight bourbon whiskey, expertly blended to honor both a literary classic and the craft of bourbon-making. With only a limited number of bottles available, the release promises to be an extraordinary addition to the prestigious Remus Bourbon family, blending tradition with an unforgettable nod to the Roaring ’20s.

According to a press release from Ross & Squibb Distillery, the Remus Gatsby Reserve bourbon will be offered in ultra-limited quantities in October at a minimum suggested retail price of $199.99 per 750mL bottle.

“2025 marks the centennial of ‘The Great Gatsby,’ so we wanted to make this year’s expression of Remus Gatsby Reserve absolutely epic,” said 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 and is offered at cask strength. This year’s expression delivers hints of cherry, vanilla and creamy oak on the nose followed by an initial sweetness of cherry, raisin and molasses with a touch of pipe tobacco and Armagnac on the palate. The finish leaves lingering notes of rich 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,” added Stirsman. “This release showcases the best of what our distillery has to offer.”

The 2025 edition is packaged in a distinctive 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 the award-winning expression. The inaugural 2022 Remus Gatsby Reserve, and the 2023 and 2024 editions have achieved some of the highest recognitions in the bourbon category, including earning platinum and double platinum medals at the ASCOT Awards; gold and double gold medals at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition; gold and platinum SIP Awards; and recognition by the Robb Report as both a “Best of the Best” and one of the “50 Greatest Bourbons.”
