Remus Bourbon brings back its Babe Ruth Reserve
MGP-owned Remus has partnered with the Ruth Family to create a new limited edition whiskey honouring baseball legend Babe Ruth.
The 2025 edition of Remus Babe Ruth Reserve is a blend of three high-rye Bourbon mashbills, inspired by Ruth’s #3. It includes barrels distilled in 2016 and 2017. The three mashbills contain 44%, 49%, and 36% rye.
“We’re honoured to pay homage to one of baseball’s icons with our latest collector’s release of Remus Babe Ruth Reserve,” said Ian Stirsman, master distiller of Ross & Squibb Distillery.
“Our 2025 edition is masterfully crafted and is sure to give baseball fans and high-rye Bourbon lovers a unique and memorable way to celebrate America’s pastime and its most legendary player.”
The whiskey is bottled at 55.5% ABV. It has notes of brown sugar, cinnamon and fig on the nose, while on the palate it offers hints of nutmeg and toasted marshmallow.
Priced at US$150, 8,399 bottles will be released – the number of Ruth’s at-bats. The bottle features an embossed diamond label, art deco detailing, and a baseball bat-inspired cork.
“The estate of Babe Ruth is thrilled to once again collaborate with Ross & Squibb Distillery on the limited edition 2025 Remus Babe Ruth Reserve,” said Tom Stevens, grandson of Babe Ruth.
“Babe Ruth is synonymous with excellence, and Remus upholds this standard with each uniquely presented bottle. We are confident that collectors and baseball fans alike will conclude that Remus hit another home run with this special release. Babe would be proud.”
In November 2024, MGP Ingredients announced plans to scale back its whiskey production and focus on its branded spirits business, Remus among them.
