Remus Gatsby Reserve 15 year old Cask Strength, 48.9%

Price: 200 Issue: Spring 2023 Reviewer: Shane English Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey

Gatsby’s whiskey opens with a nose as rich and decadent as one of his Long Island parties. The spread is set with dried fruit, berries in mascarpone cream, toffee, peanut brittle, and spiced fruits. Cigar box and tobacco waft around with baking spice and cinnamon rolls. The flavors are oakier and spicier, retaining the syrupy berries and desserts from the nose, but adding in punchier notes just beneath the gilded surface.
