Never had it but the bottles are near the top of my list of best looking bottles:) Cheers!

[@whiskeyisajourney]

I agree. I think they are the best looking bottles on the market.

[@MagicTalkingTaco]

Best looking bottle in the business :o)

[@whiskeyisajourney]

It sure is. Cheers!

[@CA_Scotty]

Thanks! Just catching up on reviews for August. As usual, great reviews

[@whiskeyisajourney]

I have you down for 4 in August.

[@jimreichel1466]

Nice review Peter. My question to you is: Is Remus Reserve worth getting the 2024 based on the increase of price the last few years?

[@whiskeyisajourney]

I don't know how much it will be in 2024, but it will be a wait and see for me. If the reviews come out and it's perceived to be better than the 2023 then I will buy it. If not then I will wait until 2025.

[@RVWhiskey]

2023 Gatsby is for sure the superior dram. Great video Peter. Cheers!

[@whiskeyisajourney]

The 2023 was certainly a better pour. Thanks! Cheers.

[@FantasySoldier]

All I have to say about these bottles is that the 2022 box is much cooler than the 2023 lol.

[@whiskeyisajourney]

It certainly is. I also think these bottles are the nicest looking bottles on the market.

I just got a message from Total wine concierge service and the 2024 Gatsby Reserve is coming in pre winter 2024 for $249. I’ll think about it. The 2023 is still available in smoke stores by me. Seems good but not $250 good but then again I talked myself into paying $300 for an ETL.

[@whiskeyisajourney]

I hear you. I think I'll probably skip this one. I just dropped a bag of cash for the Craigellachie 17 and 23 so my budget is blown for a few months.

[@TheReal_DeanD]

@@whiskeyisajourney oh boy. I swear we should call you the grenade jumper. You really take ones for the team. I hope you were able to get the Craigellachie 23 year from Total Wine with the spirits direct program to get 10%-15% off. Prepandemic these were $239 in my area and now I think they're $299 min. I should have bought it back then. Craigellachie 17 year has always been $170 min. I hope you enjoy them and I can't wait for the reviews. I'm hoping MB can sample them with you. I wish I lived closer I've got some Craigellachie IBs I'd love to share.

Thanks! Always enjoyable when you're drinking good whiskey. Cheers!
