Remus Repeal Reserve Series IX: A Unique Tribute to Prohibition's End

Remus Repeal Reserve Series IX: A Tribute to Prohibition's End

The year 2025 marks a significant occasion for whiskey enthusiasts and historians alike as Remus Bourbon proudly unveils the Remus Repeal Reserve Series IX. This limited edition bourbon, released in September, commemorates the repeal of Prohibition, a pivotal moment in American history that reshaped the liquor industry. The latest installment continues the legacy of the series, offering a unique blend of aged bourbons that captivates both the taste buds and the spirit of celebration.

Produced by the esteemed Ross Squibb Distillery in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, Remus Repeal Reserve Series IX features a carefully curated combination of four bourbons aged between 10 and 18 years. This year’s edition boasts an impressive 104 proof (52% ABV), marking it as the highest proof to date in the series. It consists of 7% of an 18-year bourbon with 21% rye, 26% of a robust 11-year bourbon enriched with 36% rye, 23% of another 10-year bourbon also with 36% rye, and finally, 44% of a second 10-year bourbon that contains 21% rye. This meticulous selection results in a rich, multifaceted flavor profile that bourbon aficionados have come to expect from the Remus brand.

Upon nosing the bourbon, one is greeted with a delightful aroma of seasoned oak, leather, ripe sweet cherries, and a hint of tobacco. The palate is treated to an invitation of cherry notes interlaced with roasted coffee undertones, complemented by a subtle yet impactful touch of smoky spice. The experience finishes with a lingering essence of oak and spice, gracefully fading into traces of coffee, cherry, and tobacco, leaving a lasting impression.

Ian Stirsman, the Master Distiller at Ross Squibb, acknowledges the high expectations from bourbon lovers for each release. “Bourbon fans have always expected something new from each edition of Remus Repeal Reserve,” he remarked. For Series IX, the team has meticulously selected some of the most unique barrels, ensuring that this blend delivers an extraordinary tasting experience that exceeds their loyal fans’ aspirations. During the development process, various proof points were tested to maintain quality and ensure the final product met the brand’s high standards.

Since its inception, the Remus Repeal Reserve collection has gained numerous accolades, reaffirming its place among the finest bourbons available. Remus Repeal Reserve VIII notably clinched a platinum medal at the 2025 ASCOT Awards, alongside multiple other prestigious awards at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and the SIP Awards. Furthermore, it has been recognized as the best bourbon under $100 by UPROXX and has garnered critical acclaim from Men's Journal, WhiskeyFellow, and The Tasting Panel.
