There is a lot of history to unpack here, and I love it. So, this one comes from Indiana, a state one does not usually associate with bourbon but is the home of MPG, a whiskey powerhouse. It has ties with the Ross & Squibb Distillery and they continuously produce since 1847, even prohibition could not stop them.
_
In fact, during prohibition a part of the distillery ownership was acquired by a German immigrant who had made a fortune defending criminals in court: George Remus (born in Landsberg, 1878). A craftly and rather shifty lawyer, he found a loophole in the law that allowed selling whiskey for medicinal use. And he did. But he also sold a lot of whiskey illegally, which is why is called King of the Bootleggers.
_
Having bought the rights to the Remus-name, Ross & Squibb now produces a number of bourbons under this umbrella. This one is the base-line bourbon, bottled at a solid 94 Proof and aged between 5 and 7 years. It is a good modern bourbon with a somewhat higher rye amount and thus a decent spiciness, while the typical bourbon sweetness of vanilla and caramel dominates.
To be honest when it comes to flavours, it is not all that special. But what it does, it does well. It can be considered a good entry into the world of bourbon, or a starter for an American whiskey tasting.
