Larceny Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Very Special Small Batch 92 Proof
Kentucky, USA
Well done wheated bourbon. Refined vanilla and baking spice. Subdued heat, nice length. Makes makers mark feel like dilute apple juice. Doesn't have backbone for cocktails; drink neat.

Very balanced bourbon. Good as a mixer if needed too

Nov 26th, 2020Smooth drinker, very woody, traditional bourbon flavors, slight rye spice hint despite being a wheater. IMO a well marketed bottom shelf bourbon. About $23?

Depends on what your doing with it. Drunk neet, it is fine. Has no backbone at all. Can't even hold up to an ice cube. Any dilution at all, and it develops a horrendous after flavor. Don't try to mix it, and if you like your whiskey chilled you better do it in the fridge.

Color of dark apple cider. Nose is strong with alcohol, spicy sweet, oily, and a bit brown sugar. Taste gives me similar oily feeling, below average sweetness, some coffee beans, a bit leathery and dull. Maybe an average bourbon?

It’s a nice wheated bourbon, and at the price can be a go-to workhorse. It’s got the same spice profile as ORVW, but lacks the soft finish. It’s good though, and just being in the Van Winkle conversation is saying something.
