Remus Babe Ruth Reserve, 55.5%

Price: 150 Issue: Winter 2024 Reviewer: Shane English Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey

A blend of three MGP high-rye bourbons. This is a big whiskey befitting the Babe. The nose hits hard with cherry pie, horchata, and chai spices. The palate builds on those aromas, adding chocolate orange, ginger, and mint chocolate chip ice cream. Herbal and well spiced from nose to finish, it manages its proof with only a slight prickle on the palate. Anise and rye spices are prominent on the moderately long finish.
