LAWRENCEBURG, Ind.,
July 8, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- MGP
(Nasdaq: MGPI) will release Remus Volstead Reserve Straight Bourbon
Whiskey, a one-time rare, reserve Bourbon, in November 2019. The new release coincides with the
100th anniversary of the start of National Prohibition –
under the Volstead Act – that enforced the 18th
Amendment outlawing the production and distribution of alcoholic
spirits in the U.S. First ratified on January 16, 1919 and enacted one year later, the
18th Amendment ended in 1933, earning historic status as
the only constitutional amendment to be entirely repealed.
"Prohibition launched an era of social change which created
legends such as George Remus, King
of the Bootleggers, and a speakeasy culture that persists to this
day," says Andrew Mansinne, Vice
President of Brands, MGP Ingredients. "Remus Volstead Reserve is
made from our finest 14-year aged reserves and has spent the same
time in barrel as this country spent under Prohibition. Like this
singular historic era, our Volstead Reserve is one-of-a-kind."
Remus Volstead Reserve is bottled-in-bond from 2005 bourbons
crafted at MGP's historic distillery in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, and bottled at
100-proof. Remus Volstead Reserve has rich aromas of dried candied
fruit, caramelized pecans, oak, char and tobacco. Robust and rich
oak flavors dominate the forward palate and body of this
bourbon. Balanced cherry and caramel touches compliment the
oak in the body, and intensify in the bourbon's finish.
Pleasant notes of leather and spice round out the finish, and oak
and barrel char notes linger until the next sip.
Available as of November 2019,
Remus Volstead Reserve Straight Bourbon Whiskey retails for a
suggested $199.99 per 750-ml bottle.
The packaging is designed for collectors with a high-end glass
bottle and commemorative box. This limited, 2005-aged reserve
Bourbon will never be repeated. No more than 500 9-liter cases will
be available for markets where George Remus
Bourbon is currently sold. For more information, please
contact Helen Gregory,
helen@gregoryvine.com, or Amanda
Davis, amanda@gregoryvine.com.
