Remus Highest Rye Bourbon

Remus Highest Rye Bourbon is a six-year-old straight bourbon from Indiana, bottled at 109 proof. The "highest rye" in its name refers to the mash bill: 51% corn, 39% rye and 10% malted rye, a far higher share of rye grain than most bourbons. The George Remus brand is made at Ross & Squibb Distillery in Lawrenceburg, Indiana.
