George Remus Bourbon: Great Story and Great Value

This episode dives into George Remus Straight Bourbon Whiskey — a widely available bottle that seriously overdelivers for the price.

We break down:

• Why MGP whiskey has become so respected
• What makes this a standout value bottle
• And the wild story behind George Remus himself

From pharmacist to criminal lawyer to “King of the Bootleggers,” Remus’ story is one of the most fascinating in bourbon history — and possibly even inspired The Great Gatsby.

A great mix of accessible bourbon, great value, and one hell of a story.
