Remus Repeal Reserve Series V (2021 Medley)

It burns, but is also sweet. One of my favorite pours.

9/8/21

As solid a bourbon as they come. Great blend.

Vanilla, fruity, baking spices, oak, chocolate, brown sugar. Nice

Neat. Neck pour. So excited! I have probably gone through 8ish bottles of Remus Repeal at this point. It was the MGP I drank to keep me from crushing the rarer single barrels I have. Sadly it seems like the word is finally out on this and it won’t be something I can just grab at any time anymore… This nose is great, one hell of a blend of 21% and 36% rye MGP. It has all the best parts of each mash bill and isn’t over oaked either. Red velvet cake, loads of honey, cherry, graham cracker, caramel covered apples, powdered sugar. Even getting some coconut. It’s a fun nose especially at just 100 proof. Mouthfeel is light but coating. The honey and cherry hit the tongue first, transitions into intense oak mid palate. With the oak is a dark cherry, caramel, hint of apple. Finish is honey and apple. It’s the cherry on this that I am falling in love with. The only time I have gotten this much cherry is on older Old Scout lower proof single barrels, which kind of makes sense considering the era these came from. The finish is just okay here, undermined by the proof maybe but it is a delicious sipper. I’m going to buy a case of these if I can.

Nose: Vanilla bean, oak, toffee, maple syrup, orange, and cinnamon. Very complex and smells wonderful. Can’t wait to dig in. Palate: Caramel, chocolate covered orange, maple syrup, baking spices throughout, and oak. Damn delicious! Hoping I can get another bottle.
