George Remus Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Details

SOME RULES ARE MADE TO BE BROKEN. PROHIBITION FOR EXAMPLE.Saying George Remus was just a bootlegger is like saying Hemingway was just a writer. In the 1920s, if baseball had Ruth, bourbon had Remus.But this King George didn’t reside in England, he was a son of Cincinnati. Starting as an apothecary, he soon found a loophole or two to craft bourbon for medicinal purposes.Knowing a great opportunity when he saw it, and a great bourbon when he created it, he began his Prohibition empire. While he respected the Volstead Act, to King George, it was but a mere suggestion.Holding uncompromising standards, King George demanded two things from his circle of trusted workers: a mash bill to his exact specifications, and of course, the ability to keep a secret.But when you craft a bourbon this good, a secret can be a hard thing to keep.
