Remus Repeal Reserve Series V (2021 Medley)

Slightly sweet at the start. Very smooth mellow flavor. Great bourbon! 😋

Nose - butterscotch, vanilla, walnut, black cherry, cinnamon butter, tobacco, earthy mint, chocolate, cranberry, grass, orange zest, moderate ethanol burn. Taste - butterscotch, cherry, vanilla, peanut butter, orange, mint, tangerine, apple, pineapple, grass, leather, chocolate, sweet floral notes, rich oak, moderate alcohol bite, finishing medium long with butterscotch, citrus, and tropical fruit flavors. Last up in my Remus tour is this fifth Repeal Reserve expression. I was unfortunately a bit underwhelmed by the third release, so let’s see how this one fares. The nose is really nice. It’s even more citrus and red fruit-forward than the third release’s. It’s sweet grassy with nutty, minty chocolate aromas. The palate is punchy and rich. Bright red fruits and deep citrus qualities accompany chocolate and tropical fruit flavors. The mouthfeel is medium and the finish lingers pleasantly. This is great bourbon. It easily bests the third release for me. This has a strong citrusy presence, but it doesn’t veer thin and sour like the last one did. I’m not sure I’ve ever encountered a profile like this on another bourbon. It’s really well done, if not slightly bright and fresh for my liking. Many thanks to both @soonershrink and @Bourbon_Obsessed_Lexington for providing generous samples. I have enough for one more enjoyable experience.

Toffee, heavy oak, full and oily mouth feel. Fruity, licorice, baking spices. Interesting bourbon. There is an odd sweetness on the end that I don’t love.

Was really excited about this one but left a lot to be desired. Not a lot on the palate. Finish is longer but not my style. Not sure I understand why they diluted the aged juice. Really wanted to love this one hit it’s just solid.

Vanilla and brown sugar. Very tasty

Toffee, caramel, oak, full mouth feel, slightly spicy finish. Good overall bourbon.
