Remus Repeal Reserve Series IX (2025 Medley)

Nose: tobacco, dark oak, coacoa, grainy Palate: continues on palate. Lots of grain and coacoa, slight tobacco, laba cake Finish: meduoum long spicy drying finish Ovall a 7.5/10. Has something s little off but it is good for something unique.

Fresh crack review: Lots of oak in the nose, and some caramel, but not much else. The nose would make you think it's an 80-97 proofer, but don't be deceived. Once you sip it you forget all about the nose. Still lots of oak but very refined. None of those harsh oak tannin flavors. Sweet cinnamon candy and even some grape flavors ala Buffalo Trace products. Clean rye spice notes of pepper, grain, and a hint of mint. Overall very impressed. Super smooth easy sipper. Drinks a bit under the 104 proof, but delivers a lot of great flavor with a beautiful syrupy mouth feel. Only knock might be the proof if you're into the really high proof stuff, and the finish is a little short lived. I live in Hawaii and paid $99, but I'm not at all disappointed. In fact, I might buy a backup bottle

Easy drinking, and well above average. Though it's a "thin" bourbon that could remind some of a cheaper bourbon

This one is good! Probabaly the best batch since 5. Compared to last years batch 8, this one has much more dark fruit upfront and vanilla brown sugar in the mid. It ends with a nice bittersweet oak. I think the bittersweet oak influence is coming from the 17 year bourbon, albeit only 7% of the blend. The finish lingers, reminding me of dark chocolate.
