Tastes

Malted rye is supposed to be less spicy and gentler compared a regular rye whiskey, but this whiskey is pretty hot. With this one there is a lot of ethanol on the nose and taste is still pretty youthful with fresh grain and mild oak being the main flavors. Fun to try something different, but not the most well rounded whiskey.

I'm pretty impressed with this bourbon and it is the first barrel proof that I've had from Larceny. In some strange way the nose reminds me of bookers a little bit. Besides that vanilla, cinnamon and pepper spice know you in the face; it's pretty bold! On the palate it has a soft mouthfeel and the oak comes in strong with dark chocolate and a nuttiness flavor. Caramel is at the end with nice oak flavors fading off into the sunset.

Sweet oak and fruit and butterscotch on the nose. The chocolate malted notes are strong on the the palate and the finish is gentle with a nice barrel spice that sticks around for quite awhile. Haven’t had a scotch like this before.

This whisky is sweet and is very smoky, the palate has a lot of cedar wood notes.

I enjoy this one just slightly more than their small batch bourbon.

Relatively soft and gentle bourbon with the french oak finish taking a small role in the background. It didn't make a memorable impression, but enjoyable.

extremely mellow for a rye and doesn't have much of that rye spice. Not great, but if found at the right price it's an easy one to sip or use in cocktails.

Did a tasting at their distillery last week in Louisville and there straight bourbon was one of those whiskies I tried. I was impressed with the flavor profile and it has a lot of that same spice you get from their small batch rye whiskey. because they put their bourbon and rye in the barrel at a lower proof, it brings out a lot more flavors that can get missed when adding water before bottling. this definitely helps when your products are only about 4-5 years old.
