The 2025 edition pays homage to the Sultan of Swat with a new medley of three mash bills, inspired by Babe's legendary #3
ST. LOUIS, June 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Bambino is taking a curtain call. Remus Bourbon, the award-winning whiskey inspired by the roaring spirit of the prohibition, is proud to announce the next chapter of its official partnership with the Babe Ruth Family – the ultra-limited 2025 Remus Babe Ruth Reserve. In tribute to the true legend from that era, a limited supply of 8,399 bottles, one for each of the Babe's at-bats, will arrive at retail this month at a minimum suggested price of $149.99 per 750mL bottle.
"We're honored to pay homage to one of baseball's icons with our latest collector's release of Remus Babe Ruth Reserve," said Ian Stirsman, master distiller of Ross & Squibb Distillery. "Our 2025 edition is masterfully crafted and is sure to give baseball fans and high-rye bourbon lovers a unique and memorable way to celebrate America's pastime and its most legendary player."
The 2025 edition of Remus Babe Ruth Reserve features a medley of three high-rye bourbon mash bills – inspired by Ruth's #3 – which include specially selected barrels distilled in 2016 and 2017, comprising 44% rye, 49% rye and 36% rye bourbons, respectively. The result underscores the expertise of the Ross & Squibb Distillery in distilling and blending rye bourbons. At 111 proof (55.5% ABV), the taste profile offers brown sugar, cinnamon and fig on the nose; hints of nutmeg and toasted marshmallow on the palate; and a warm finish of oak, leather and baking spices.
"The estate of Babe Ruth is thrilled to once again collaborate with Ross & Squibb Distillery on the limited edition 2025 Remus Babe Ruth Reserve," said Tom Stevens, grandson of Babe Ruth. "Babe Ruth is synonymous with excellence, and Remus upholds this standard with each uniquely presented bottle. We are confident that collectors and baseball fans alike will conclude that Remus hit another home run with this special release. Babe would be proud."
The 2025 edition of Remus Babe Ruth Reserve is packaged in an ornate rectangular art deco-inspired glass bottle featuring an embossed baseball-diamond pattern and unique baseball bat knob wooden-cork closure. The front and back labels incorporate Ruth's iconic signature, pinstripes, and elements of a baseball diamond. A QR code on the back label allows consumers to scan and find out what Ruth did in the game of their bottle's at bat.
