Had an opportunity to get a home run bottle of Remus Babe Ruth today. The stores I went to, while hunting this the past several months, have allowed me to scan the code and enter bottle numbers in, and I had the good fortune to find one of the rarer HR bottles (with only about 8 total Remus Ruth remaining in Oregon). Most of the stores really enjoyed seeing the process and what Remus/ the Ruth estate did to create this release. $200 is way too much to spend on whiskey, but my late grandfather loved the Yankees and loved the Babe. To be honest baseball was one the big things we talked hours about and the story of this bottle brings a lot of those memories back for me. I will open it during the World Series, Opening Day, and the ASG. When I do I will toast to and share stories about him with others. Someday when it’s empty it’ll be a bottle that stays in my collection till I give it to my son. It never has to appreciate in value for me to appreciate its value. I’m sure I have plenty of better tasting, more complex whiskey. This one hits different for me. I’m not an overly emotional guy, but just explaining to my wife tonight what it meant to find this brought mist to my eyes. I think that’s the great thing often overlooked in bourbon hunting. Some unicorns aren’t resell value, age statements, nose, taste, hype, or reputation. Some are simply about what they mean to you and the stories unlocked when you pop the cork.

Just picked one up yesterday. Can't wait to get it opened up and a video posted. I'm a big baseball fan and got it solely for the bottle, presentation, and Babe Ruth. Glad to hear the whiskey is decent.

Yea, I mean, I think we as a bourbon community need to start putting our foot down. It was a great bottle and I will continue to enjoy it. I'm just so over these outrageous prices. For $99-$149 I could get. But $259? No way. R&S only asks $149 for it, which I think is fair based on all the rye in it (I know what a pain it is for rye.)

@@Whiskey_Wisdom Yea I agree. I believe they keep up pricing because why not charge more and make more, instead of all secondary making all the money. That is just part of my theory that could be a whole video.

Appreciate the review. I really haven’t heard much about this bottle. You are the first to do a review of it that I am aware of. It would be a pass for me but has a great story

I'll have to check and I'll update this comment when I get to the bottle. What I do remember is both my bottles were a "nothing happened at bat" type bottle though. No home run bottles for me 😥
