George Remus Highest Rye 6 year 750ml

George Remus Highest Rye is a 6-year-old straight rye whiskey named for the Prohibition-era "King of the Bootleggers," bottled by MGP-affiliated brand ownership using stock distilled at the Ross & Squibb Distillery (formerly MGP) in Lawrenceburg, Indiana. As the name signals, it leans on a high-rye mash bill for a spicier, drier profile than a bourbon-leaning whiskey. Six years in new charred oak brings in real depth alongside the rye spice — expect baking spice, oak, and a drier caramel than most bourbons. It suits rye drinkers who want more oak maturity than the standard 4-year MGP rye releases typically carry.

How to drink George Remus Highest Rye

Neat is best for tracking the extra oak this 6-year age brings over younger MGP ryes. It's also assertive enough to anchor a Manhattan without getting lost against sweet vermouth.
