Reviving a Baseball Legend with Remus Bourbon

With only 8,399 bottles available, this limited production truly captures the spirit of both the game and the whiskey-making tradition.

Each bottle of the 2025 Remus Babe Ruth Reserve is priced at a suggested retail of $149.99 for a 750mL bottle, with a supply carefully limited to honor every at-bat of the Babe. This edition marks a continuation of Remus Bourbon's partnership with the Babe Ruth Family, reinforcing the shared values of excellence and legacy.
A Unique Mash Bill Recipe
The 2025 edition features a blend of three high-rye bourbon mash bills. This meticulously crafted selection is a nod to Ruth's legendary jersey number, #3.
