Tastes

Very unusual taste I cannot even explain. It’s slightly weak for my taste but it was so different in a good way I had to give it 4 stars. Definitely worth the $. People love the bottle when they see it in my bar and it’s a great talking point.

Remus II is a very smooth, deep tasting bourbon. The main taste I got was rich oak, caramel and wheat. The finish dissipates quickly and leaves you with a molassss flavor mixed with yeast. Almost like a dark brown sugar flavor without all the sweetness.

Previous post says it all, if you enjoy over oaked, aka not your typical bourbon, this will be for you. To me, it had a bitter note that turned me off a bit. Upon opening the bottle, the aroma is incredible. It smells fantastic. The taste, however, was good, overly oaky of course, but it was a bit bitter and left my tongue with a bitter note after the fact. I am super glad I have it in my collection, it is well worth the wow factor and sharing something with friends. I would, however not buy another bottle. I bet this one lasts me another 23 years!!!

This is a lesser known bourbon from Norther KY and it is a fantastic bourbon. It is very smooth with a great nutty and yeasty finish. It is easy on the nose and is best neat. If you can find a bottle of the 12 or 13 year single barrel (99 and 143 bottles) you are in for a real treat
