The story behind it

The maker

The George Remus brand is named after the legendary 'King of the Bootleggers,' who operated a massive bootlegging ring during Prohibition. Today, the brand is crafted at MGP's historic Lawrenceburg facility, honoring historic American whiskey legacies with premium, high-rye mash bills. This special Babe Ruth Reserve was created in partnership with the Babe Ruth family to celebrate the slugger's historic career.

How it is made

This bourbon is distilled and matured at the historic Ross & Squibb Distillery in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, famous for its legacy of rye and bourbon production. The release commemorates the iconic Babe Ruth, capturing the spirit of the Roaring Twenties through classic high-rye mash bills and carefully selected charred oak barrels.
