Tastes

The first taste brings on a soft, sweet caramel followed by a sweet southern corn; immediately followed by a subtle rye spice. This nice expression is bottled at cask strength but exhibits a smooth quality for its high proof. A well balanced and smooth Memphis bourbon whiskey.

Very light grain and hay on the nose with a hint of pear. The first taste begins with a mix of sweet cinnamon and nutmeg followed by a spicy black pepper mid note. The flavor rounds out with a finality of smoke and leather creating a well rounded sipping bourbon without the intense price tag.

Sweet maple and honey along with sweet toasted oats and malt on the initial nose. The first taste is smooth with a spicy caramel front. The back end has a continued honey draw with smoke and the clean finish with the typical rye spice. A beautiful expression of what you would want from a quality rye that is great for those who have not been introduced to rye and deep enough to satisfy even the most concerning palates. Great quality rye whiskey for everyone.

Bright, sweet, smooth, golden, honey....these are all the words to explain Larceny. Smooth without a rough bite and pleasant for most. The one thing to note is the finish which has a sort of waxy type flavor. Overall, a great bourbon but the finish is left to be desired.

Strong on the nose and strong on the first taste. This cask strength version has some major intensity. Flavors of oak and caramel to start with a spicy aftertaste. It is good to try in a group, but be prepared for the cask strength to dictate the taste.

Strong on the alcohol to start, but a smooth finish. Spicy and smoky as a rye should be with hints of wheat, cinnamon and pepper in the main taste. The finish is balanced with an essence of leather.

Too strong and not enough variance for a true bourbon. Sharp on both the front and back with good spice flavor, but missing depth. Even when mixed, the bourbon still misses the mark. The distiller is said to have flash aged the bourbon by added heat and cooling the barrel, so it’s not truly aged as the statement on the bottle. This truly shows in the end product.
