I drink the hell out of the regular George Remus @ $39 in south Florida..... it took me 3 yrs to find Repeal Batch here and paid a little over retail... haven't cracked the bottle yet but waiting for that special occasion.
Great rundown of MGP core bottles, Jason! I've tried the Repeal and can't wait for it to pop up here in Cali. I'd get the other two as well. Cheers buddy
Jason, I just got an MGP 4 year high rye bourbon, named Tumbling Dice. It's a single barrel, barrel proof, store pick here in Vegas, coming in at 117.3. Delicious!!
Jason, thanks for the awesome mgp reviews. I'm very into mgp and have found a bunch of craft-y bottles that I love, for example a few blaum bros, old pepper, old bones, magnus. All great! But Repeal Reserve 2 and 3 are the shi$$ for Taste divided by Value! Keep em coming.
Picked up a bottle of George Remus today; first time I've seen it anywhere in this area. Store owner said they had a lot of folks ask about it, and were finally able to get some in. They had the Reserve too, I'll have to grab a bottle of that next time I'm in the area of that store.
Just got series IV at my local Costco for $64.99. Looking forward to sampling over the weekend . Please consider Remus Repeal vs. Four Roses Small Batch Select.....battle of the high rye bourbons.
I bought a bottle of Remus Reserve Repeal (release II) today here in Montana. Spendy at $100!! I personally find it disappointing, at least to my palate, especially after liking the George Remus so much. I suppose the 10/11-year age shows in the profile, but it’s nothing special. So far it feels like a waste of money for the price but maybe the bottle will open up a bit. I feel like I should’ve just bought the Blanton’s that the store had just received (and were selling for $68). Oh well...
@@TheMashandDrum Sigh... Well, hopefully it improves with some maple notes as another reviewer said happened with his # II release. As it is right now, my Old Forester Signature bottle at 100 proof (for $28), is blowing the socks off of the Remus Repeal Reserve. I very, very much appreciate your excellent reviews and will keep my eyes open for a bottle of version III or IV of the Remus.
I'm a fan of high rye bourbon (rye in general). My go-to cocktail whiskey is Rittenhouse which I can reliably get for ~$22-24. I wouldn't spend more than $30 for something that will end up in a cocktail, and aim to spend a fair bit less to maximize quality per dollar. Yeah, I /could/ sip on it, but I've got plenty of bottles to choose from that are better to sip on. There's a lot of competition in the $30-40 price point, and certainly at the $80. How does the Remus bourbon compare to 4R SiB? Heck, Bulleit? The Remus Repeal sounds interesting for what you get for the money, however. Sounds like it can hold its own against limited editions/allocations.
The Remus Bourbon I would take over the Bulliet...As far as four roses....thats a good question...both high rye...I would probably lean towards the FR SB. But when they are hard to find the Remus is a damn good alternative. The Repeal can definitely hold its own.
Good whisky is good whisky. I don't care where it comes from. All i really wish we had in the whisky world is transparency. Give me an aged statement. 3, 5, 8, 12, whatever there's great young and old whisky. And tell us if color or chill filtration is used.
Hello Jason, Can you at some point make a head-2-head review of Maker's Mark RC6 vs. LARCENY BP A120. It seem like these two wheated bourbons are polarizing. So I thought an honest insight from you would be nice.
T e r r o i r is of course a big deal for a lot of people. Not only where the grain is sourced from, but also in terms of where it's distilled. Part of the craft of craft.
There's one (only 1) bottle of Repeal reserve in a store near me but with a markup. The price is $129.95 instead of $85 or $90. Is it still worth it? Let me know!
Such a great video.. I was looking at the MGP website and realized I have a real connection. I was born in 1957 in Evansville Indiana just across the river from Louisville. I lived in Kansas most of my life and still own a home not too far from Atchison where MGP is headquartered. No wonder I like bourbon and rye I love this video and then seeing their products on their website. I was going to come back to Kansas this spring but the covid virus made me choose stay here in Cambodia with my beautiful wife or go back to my house in Kansas. I figured I would wait.. it seems I am going to have to stay in Cambodia because flights are crazy and coming back nearly impossible. Love your vids.. I am going back for that 6th Elijah Craig 12 year tomorrow...Who knows? maybe they had more in the back... That Remus sure looks wonderful.. cheers
LOL--these have been a somewhat 'well kept secret I think'. I was in Total Wine in Ky. and a gentleman really encouraged me to try the Remus Reserve Batch 1. That was my first--then of course had to try the George Remus when it was introduced. When 8 & Sand came out of course I picked it up! I love all three and always have them on my shelf! Nice Review of the line-up!
I agree with everything you say about overpriced MGP... but you’ve got to admit you’ve fallen for it like the rest of us. Look at all that MGP behind you. Lol We all fall victim
Super cool to see this a year later. Recently picked up 2 remus and 2 reserve V. Love my MGP!
Jason make a video of top 10 MGP products!!
Remus Repeal series is absolutely phenomenal. Very underrated
Agree!
I drink the hell out of the regular George Remus @ $39 in south Florida..... it took me 3 yrs to find Repeal Batch here and paid a little over retail... haven't cracked the bottle yet but waiting for that special occasion.
Excellent video. You always offer and make us aware of excellent, quality, but not overly priced whiskies. Great job again!
Thanks man! These are definitely overlooked
I'm very interested in trying the Remus bourbon. Thanks Jason.👍
Great rundown of MGP core bottles, Jason! I've tried the Repeal and can't wait for it to pop up here in Cali. I'd get the other two as well. Cheers buddy
Thanks Richie! Highly underrated
All great for what they are - especially if they are priced right
Thanks. Was unaware of these. I love the idea of "sourcing" the source! Happy
Great video as always. I really liked the intro. Remus is just solid stuff for the price. Cheers!
Really is William. Not sure enough folks know how good and quality it is on the shelf.
Spot on review of the Repeal Reserve, I just picked up a bottle of the batch III and is one of my favs. Cheers....
Great job as always.Have not seen any of these in WA as of yet, but would love to give em a try. Cheers Jason!
they are trying to get them out to more areas. Keep an eye out.
Jason, I just got an MGP 4 year high rye bourbon, named Tumbling Dice. It's a single barrel, barrel proof, store pick here in Vegas, coming in at 117.3. Delicious!!
Tumblin dice is really good stuff I hear as well.
Jason, thanks for the great MGP label review. Appreciate the honest tasting and perspective.
Thanks Jeff!
I’m going to have to pickup a bottle of Remus Repeal Batch III now
Its delicious
Jason, thanks for the awesome mgp reviews. I'm very into mgp and have found a bunch of craft-y bottles that I love, for example a few blaum bros, old pepper, old bones, magnus. All great! But Repeal Reserve 2 and 3 are the shi$$ for Taste divided by Value! Keep em coming.
Absolutely!!
Great review Jason! Their High Rye bourbons are pretty damn good, but don’t forget their flagship rye Rossville Union. That’s a solid pour as well.
Yes! Will be reviewing those soon as well!
Yes! Rossville union is a great pour and a great cocktail base - and the cask strength is so different from the base product

Hmm never tried either Remus, you got me intrigued for both
If you like high rye...its a good bottle.
Sipping my first Woodford Double. Fantastic!
Soooo good!
I need to try and find that aged Remus
you wont be sorry.
Sat down with one of their Master Blenders recently. Really enjoyed exploring their lineup for our podcast.
Im a big fan!
Great review as always! Can’t wait for Repeal Series IV. Word is it’s even better than III. Perhaps a Series IV vs Sam Houston 14 showdown?
Just found the Repeal Reserve at Costco for $64.99!! Great stuff! Had to buy it after watching this review. Glad I did!
Where are you located? Awesome find at Costco. Enjoy , cheers
@@Leadingedg Indianapolis
Thanks Todd, I hope it finds its way to Wisconsin!
I don't think I've seen any of those down here in South FL. Will have to do some research around. Great job Jason! Cheers!🤙
Thanks Javi!
had no idea Remus Repeal was MGP. I've passed on that bottle tons of times, just because I didn't know anything about it.
Just got series IV at my local Costco for $64.99. Looking forward to sampling over the weekend . Please consider Remus Repeal vs. Four Roses Small Batch Select.....battle of the high rye bourbons.
Where is the Costco?

@@TheMashandDrum
Thanks!
Looking forward to see it!
How does Repeal Batch hold up vs the Remus Volstead 14 year that you reviewed last year?
Oh man!..I think the Volstead carries more Oak and citrus while the repeal is more cherry cola
Jason I prefer series 2. You need to blind all 4.
Repeal series bottles sit on the shelf in KC, I don’t get it! More for me I guess
MGP brands: MGP's best kept secret....lol
Haha. Seriously.

If its Bath III then go for it. Its awesome. Other than that pass.
Jason, have you had Batch 1 or 2? If so, how does this compare?
I've had batch 2. It was really good too but 3 is better IMO
Have you had the other Repeal Reserve? Do you have a favorite?
I had the 2....I like the 3 much better...but the 2 was solid as well.
Is batch 1 good?
Never had batch 1 yet...Wasnt in my area when it first came out...Ive had 2 and 3...both good but 3 is definitely better than 2 IMO
HI. You probably get sick of hearing how much products cost in other countries BUT in Australia Remus Repeal Batch, wait for it $165.
just saying.
WOW!! Mind blown....
