A flagship Straight Bourbon proves that Ross & Squibb saved some good stuff for themselves.

George Remus Bourbon is named after a legendary Whiskey-man who operated on both sides of the law during Prohibition, earning the nickname "King of the Bootleggers." The George Remus line-up is comprised of high-rye Bourbons aged over five years.

Owned by and made in one of the country’s most historic distilleries Ross & Squibb, George Remus is perfectly blended from premium stock to become your go-to Bourbon.

First thing first… George Remus is a line of really good Bourbon. It’s also the first flagship Bourbon produced, owned by Luxco. George Remus Straight Bourbon is the entry-level for the range. The mash bill is not stated, but we know that Ross & Squibb has five Bourbon mash bills in production.

And while they could have blended them, we think the flavor profile suggests their 60% corn, 36% rye, and 4% malted barley mix. And it’s aged more than five years and bottled without chill-filtration at a lovely 47% ABV.

Smartass Corner:
The brand is named after George Remus — a renowned lawyer and bootlegger from the Prohibition era. He was arrested and convicted and allegedly served as inspiration for the title character The Great Gatsby in the novel of the same name by F. Scott Fitzgerald.

Bourbon only needs to be placed in a new oak container for a few seconds to be called Bourbon. Fresh from the still and unaged Bourbon is called a White Dog. Recently, many of the larger distillers have started packaging this harsh, clear grain spirit for sale.
Whisky or Whiskey? The spelling differs geographically. In Scotland, Japan, and some other parts of the world, distilleries usually spell it Whisky; in Ireland and the USA, they spell it Whiskey.
Bourbons have very prominent notes of vanilla, as American White Oak is naturally high in vanillins.

Pinhooking means purchasing and rearing a foal based on its pedigree and either selling it or turning it into a champ racing horse. The same idea is behind Pinhook Bourbon: they source young Whiskey to mature and blend it into a blue-ribbon sipping Bourbon.

Pinhook’s high-proof Bourbon won Gold at the 2019 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, while the Straight Rye Whiskey won Double Gold the following year. In 2021, their Bourbon War Vertical Series 5 Year and the 2021 Flagship Bourbon won a Gold Medal each, with a Double Gold going to their Tiz Rye Time Vertical Series 5 Year. Pinhook is evidently doing something right!
Straight Bourbon must be matured for at least 2 years. If a bottle has no age statement, it’s at least 4 years old.
