Larceny Kentucky Straight Very Small Batch Bourbon Whiskey [750ml]

About the Whiskey:

Larceny was hand selected by the Master Distillers to have a taste profile of a six-year-old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. Made with wheat as the secondary grain, instead of the traditional rye, Larceny is a smoother tasting Bourbon.

Tasting Notes:
Color: Bright new copper
Aroma: Fresh bread and toffee, with a note of butterscotch
Taste: Buttery caramel and honeyed notes, with a rich mouthfeel
Finish: Long, gently sweet and savory

Awards & Accolades:

Double Platinum - Ascot Awards 2023

"A creamed corn forward bourbon with hints of lemon cake iced with toffee. Delicious, sweet-forward, but long-finishing and satisfying."

Double Gold, Consumers' Choice - SIP Awards 2023

Gold - World Whiskies Awards 2024

Gold - SF World Spirits Competition 2021, 2020

93 Points, Great Value, Tried & True - Ultimate Spirits Challenge 2021

"Crisp green apple, honey-baked walnuts, and brown sugar fill the nose, with succulent hints of blood orange and caramel. Silky smooth, with a mellow spice on the palate, shortbread cookies come to mind with a touch of burnt citrus peel."

93 Points, Best Buy - Wine Enthusiast

"This small-batch Bourbon uses wheat in place of rye to create a soft, rounded character. The mild crème brulee aroma leads into sasparilla and creamy caramel flavors. At 92 proof, it's a wonder that the alcohol feels so moderate, but it makes its presence known in the cinnamon-firework finish. Attractive bottle design with clever keyhole label."

Notes from the Maker:
Rittenhouse is produced in the tradition of the classic rye whiskeys that were once the preeminent American whiskey style, kept alive through the lean years by Heaven Hill and two other distilleries.

An excellent rye whiskey at a competitive price, Rittenhouse Bottled-In-Bond won the coveted “The World’s Best North American Whiskey” in Whisky Magazine’s World Whiskey Awards. The venerable American Whiskey was also named “Top North American Whiskey” at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.

"Pepper, cinnamon, vanilla, chocolate, coffee, honeycomb, spice and oak characteristics on the nose and palate with a great mouthfeel and sweetness ending in a spicy finish."

93 Points, Great Value - Ultimate Spirits Challenge 2023

"This bottled-in-bond rye displays complex aromas of clover honey, fresh maple, and carraway. Seductive on the palate, it coats the mid and upper palates with bready notes that give way to orchard fruit and baking spices that linger on for a long finish."

Platinum - Ascot Awards 2022

“Well balanced with a buttery mouthfeel and flavors of toffee, black pepper, and a nice dose of fruit.”

Double Gold - SIP Awards 2021

95 Points, Best Buy - Wine Enthusiast

"A versatile must-have for mixing cocktails, look for pleasing vanilla, maple and a hint of dried cherry. The finish is long and drying, with plenty of baking spice notes."

Back Label Story:
The Manhattan, which first appeared in print in O.H Byron's 'The Modern Bartenders Guide' in 1884, is a true classic. We love this drink for its harmony, balancing just the right amount of sweet, rich, bitter, and spice. Like any classic, you respect what makes it great. That's why we use the time-tested Manhattan recipe featuring sweet vermouth, a dash of aromatic bitters, and our bourbon and rye whiskeys. What isn't a classic, but adds depth and complexity, is barrel aging. For that reason, we let our Manhattan age in used rye barrels to fully marry the flavors. Worth the wait, we hope you enjoy this most intricate rendition of a true classic.

Technical Details:
Crafted using carefully measured, high-quality ingredients we follow the classic 2:1 ration recipe with a dash of aromatic bitters per serving.

How to Enjoy:
Pour it over ice and garnish with a cherry.
