Remus Repeal Reserve Series IX Honoring the End of Prohibition with a Blend of Bourbons Aged 10–18 Years

September will mark the ninth annual release of the award-winning, limited-edition Remus Repeal Reserve Series IX Straight Bourbon Whiskey.

Crafted at the historic Ross & Squibb Distillery in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, this rare bourbon continues the brand’s tradition of honoring the repeal of Prohibition in 1933.

A limited supply will be available in September with a suggested retail price of $99.99 per 750mL bottle.
