About the Whiskey:

Larceny Barrel Proof offers a new opportunity to experience our acclaimed wheated Bourbon mashbill in its purest form: non-chill filtered and bottled at full barrel proof. Released three times per year in January, May, and September, each offering is a bold yet balanced special Small Batch Bourbon rich with depth and distinction. Much like Larceny Small Batch and Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond, Larceny Barrel Proof is a welcome reminder of just how good wheated Bourbons can be.

Steal a taste the same way John E. Fitzgerald once did: uncut & straight from the barrel. This is the first Wheated Bourbon to ever be named Whisky Advocate's “Whisky of the Year.”

No two Bourbon barrels age exactly the same—which is why every release of Larceny Barrel Proof has its own distinct flavor & proof point.

Awards/Reviews:

"Nose: Heavy caramel | Spicy pepper | Potent barrel char | Melted chocolate | Cinnamon | Roasted mixed nuts | Fresh baked bread

Palate: Dark fruits | Cinnamon | Robust baking spices | Hazelnut | Raisin | Spice-forward | Medium-bodied

Finish: Cinnamon | Mexican chocolate | Barrel char | Nutmeg | Black pepper | Touch dry | Hot but heat dissipates quickly

Batch B524 keeps with the spice direction that Heaven Hill appears to be targeting with their 2024 batches, except dials it in with much more finesse and precision. The flavor profile as a whole is surprisingly similar to Batch A124 with heavy caramel, spice, and chocolate creating a solid base, but the infusion of baked bread on the nose, dark fruit on the palate, and cinnamon on the finish transforms the whiskey into a much more three-dimensional sip. Where Batch A124 was overrun by spice, Batch B524 tempers it slightly, but pairs it with flavors that help balance it. A cinnamon, Mexican chocolate, and barrel char aftertaste tmakes the finish the standout aspect of its sip." -Breaking Bourbon

"Batch B524 bursts with some dark fruit and rich wheat spice, then showcases great oak influence through a long finish. In my mind, it’s certainly in the top quartile of Larceny Barrel Proof releases in recent years."

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

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."

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."
