George Remus Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Has a slight astringent taste like some small crafts but not as bad. Not bad but not great. Would drink if in front of me but would not order myself and would not buy a bottle.

Four stars feels low if I’m factoring in value. Below $40, this is a staggering bourbon I would put up against Elmer T Lee.

Great MGP juice directly from MGP distillery rather than being used through a different company. I have to give mash and drum credit for leading me to this. A great whiskey that has incredible flavor. Although very different flavors, I would put this right up there with smoke wagon as one of my favorite MGP whiskeys. As a big rye fan, this is a fun whiskey with strong rye but also with plenty of fruity flavors rather than rye dominating throughout the experience. Color: amber Nose: morello cherries, brown sugar, Greek yogurt Palate: starts off sweet with morello cherry, graham cracker, maple syrup and brown sugar. This is followed by rye spice that carried through the finish. Finish: long finish with rye spices predominating, however, some of those sweet, fruity notes such as cherry are present throughout.
