Remus Bourbon Announces 2025 Edition of Remus Babe Ruth Reserve
Remus Bourbon has announced the 2025 edition of Remus Babe Ruth Reserve, a limited edition bourbon created in partnership with the estate of Babe Ruth.
The 2025 edition of Remus Babe Ruth Reserve features a medley of three high-rye bourbon mash bills – inspired by Babe Ruth’s #3 – that were aged for 8-9 years, before being married and bottled at 111 proof (55.5% ABV).
A breakdown of the medley of three mash bills is below:
- Barreled in 2017 – 73% of medley – 49% rye mash
- Barreled in 2016 – 15% of medley – 44% rye mash
- Barreled in 2017 – 12% of medley – 36% rye mash
Remus Babe Ruth Reserve is described as having aromas of “brown sugar, cinnamon, and fig,” flavors of “nutmeg and toasted marshmallow” on the palate, and notes of “oak, leather, and baking spices” on the finish.
Remus Babe Ruth Reserve is packaged in an ornate rectangular art deco-inspired glass bottle featuring an embossed baseball-diamond pattern and wooden-cork closure resembling the knob of a baseball bat. The front and back labels incorporate Ruth’s signature and elements of a baseball diamond. The bottles are individually numbered and a QR code on the back label can be scanned to find out what Ruth did in the game of their bottle’s at-bat.
Remus Babe Ruth Reserve is limited to 8,399 bottles, one for each of the Babe’s at-bats, and will be available beginning this month for a suggested retail price of $149.99 per 750 mL bottle.
