Bourbon and baseball lovers take note: Babe Ruth is going into extra innings. Remus Bourbon has announced the “ultra-limited” release of the 2025 Remus Babe Ruth Reserve.
Only 8,399 bottles, one for each at-bat taken by the baseball legend, will be available.
The art deco bottle includes the Babe’s signature (okay, a reproduction of the Babe’s signature), NY Yankee pinstripes, and an embossed baseball diamond theme. Baseball fans will want to scan the QR code on the back to find out how the Babe fared in the “at bat” the bottle represents.
“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.”
