ST.
LOUIS, June 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Bambino
meets the Bootlegger. Remus Bourbon is proud to announce an
official partnership with the estate of Babe Ruth that has
culminated in the release of Remus Babe Ruth Reserve – a blend of
three high-rye bourbons aged for six-to-seven years and offered at
111 proof (55.5% ABV). A limited supply of 10,624 bottles, one for
each of the Babe's plate appearances, will arrive at retail this
July at a minimum suggested price of $149.99 per 750mL bottle. A QR code on the back
label allows consumers to scan and find out what Ruth did in their
bottle's plate appearance.
"Remus Babe Ruth Reserve is a special collector's release
inspired by one of the most iconic figures in American history, the
immortal Babe Ruth," said Ross & Squibb Distillery Brand
Manager Allison O'Brien. "Remus is
inspired by the finest bourbon of the 1920's, and partnering with
the finest baseball player of the 1920's gives bourbon and baseball
fans a unique and memorable way to celebrate America's
pastime."
To honor Babe's famous #3, Remus Babe Ruth Reserve features a
medley of three high-rye bourbon mash bills, which include
specially selected barrels from 2016, 2017, and 2018, consisting of
49% rye, 44% rye and 36% rye bourbons, respectively. The result
showcases the expertise of the Ross & Squibb Distillery in
distilling and blending rye bourbons. Consumers can expect brown
sugar and fig on the nose; some subtle mint, brown sugar, light
fennel and candied pecans on the palate; and a warm rye spice with
cinnamon 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.
Remus Bourbon is sending four lucky sweepstakes winners to
Arlington, Texas, for the 2024
All-Star Game. Consumers also can be part of the excitement and
celebration of the new release by participating in nearby launch
parties the week of the big game. To learn more about Remus Babe
