Remus Repeal Reserve Straight Rye Whiskey is a 111 proof (55.5% ABV) straight rye whiskey from George Remus, distilled from a 95% rye mash bill and marking the brand's first-ever dedicated rye release. Bottled as part of the 2026 Repeal Reserve lineup, this limited edition blends mature 2015 and 2016 rye reserves, delivering concentrated notes of butterscotch, caramel, French oak, and warm spice. It's a rye built for whiskey lovers who want depth, structure, and a little history in every pour.
Crafted at Ross & Squibb Distillery in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, this release taps into a region with deep roots in high-rye American whiskey production. Lawrenceburg has long been a cornerstone of the rye category, and this expression honors that legacy while giving the Remus name a bold new direction with its very first straight rye.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Remus Repeal Reserve Straight Rye Whiskey good for cocktails or sipping neat?
It works well both ways. The 111 proof gives it enough backbone to shine in a Manhattan or Old Fashioned, while the layered spice and toffee notes make it equally rewarding sipped neat or with a splash of water.
What makes this the first Remus rye release significant?
This is the first time the Remus brand has released a dedicated straight rye whiskey, built from a 95% rye mash bill instead of the bourbon mash bills the brand is best known for. It's a notable expansion for collectors following the Repeal Reserve series.
How does this rye compare to other high-rye whiskeys like MGP or Sazerac Rye?
If you enjoy MGP-distilled ryes or Sazerac Rye, this bottle offers a similar high-rye spice profile with added depth from extended aging and a higher proof point, giving it more concentration and structure.
Is this whiskey a good value for a limited-edition rye?
At its price point, this bottle delivers serious quality for a collector-grade release. The combination of aged 2015 and 2016 reserves and 111 proof bottling strength makes it a smart buy for anyone wanting a premium rye without paying ultra-premium prices.
