On Monday, Luxco unveiled 2024’s Remus Repeal Reserve Series bourbon release, the eighth in the series.

Bottled at 101 proof, Remus Repeal Reserve Series VIII is a blend of three bourbons aged between 10 and 17 years. A limited supply of bottles will drop in September (National Bourbon Heritage Month) with a minimum suggested retail price of $99.99.

Remus Repeal Reserve is released each year in honor of 1933’s repeal of Prohibition. It’s a tribute to the iconic “King of the Bootleggers,” George Remus.

Each Remus Repeal Reserve bourbon is crafted by Ross and Squibb Distillery (formerly known as MGP) in Lawrenceburg, Indiana. Here’s how this year’s blend breaks down:

• 9%: a 17-year-old bourbon containing 21% rye
• 24%: 10-year-old bourbon containing 21% rye
• 67%: 10-year-old bourbon containing 36% rye

“We wanted to push the boundaries with this eighth edition by doing several things differently than in the past,” Ross and Squibb Master Distiller Ian Stirsman said in a news release. “We increased the proportion of the high-rye recipe bourbon compared to previous editions and returned to non-chill filtration to keep the viscosity and mouthfeel intact. We also blind-tasted the final blend at different proofs and found the 101 proof to be the favorite. These changes, along with our history of using the best barrels to create award-winning annual releases, are sure to make Remus Repeal Reserve Series VIII a memorable pour.”
