Larceny Barrel Proof Bourbon Batch A120

The nose has caramel corn, light soft leather, cooked plumbs, baking spices with freshly baked bread. The palate is thick, sweet and coating, and slightly drying, but on the 2nd sip it is no longer drying. I get sweet corn, peanuts, baking spices, oak and caramel. The finish is long and leaves the tip of the tongue tingling. It has lingering vanilla and dusty corn. I really enjoyed this. Defiantly fits the heaven hill profile. I wouldn’t have been able to guess that this was a wheated bourbon if I tried it blind, but it’s still great.

Nose: cloves/cinnamon, weirdly smells like a rye in the licorice direction even though I know it’s a wheater, black tea Taste: oily and dense, nutty, where did all the baking spices go? Finish: bitter oak, finishes dry despite the oily palate After reading reviews: I can see where Flaviar is coming from with the wheat bread on the nose and molasses on the palate - that’s the dense dark flavor I was getting, but I don’t get any of the apple or fruitcake. Whizzky reviews point out the nuttiness/hazelnut on the taste, but other people seem to get more sweetness from this than I do. Overall, I’m underwhelmed. I’m not a fan of the regular Larceny but had seen several reviews from people who share that opinion that indicated the barrel proof version was far superior. Thankfully, the banana nut bread note that I dislike about the standard offering doesn’t come through here - but neither does much else on the palate. The nose is very nice, but I wish more of that came through on the taste. I don’t usually bother to add water, but maybe that will change things on the next try. I hope so...

One of the intriguing wheaters I've had recently with RC6 & WSR. The nose presented to me with wheat dust I get on all wheaters follow with vanilla, baking spice, malted chocolate and oak char bordering on BBQ. The palate experience oak with a cinnamon pop, a softened coffee bitter, red fruit and an ethanol note that gave way to black pepper. The finish is medium and creamy with notes of cappuccino, bitter chocolate nibs, and a tarty tannic oak. Much better than the standard Larceny and complex enough to justify a repurchase at or near retail.

Not nearly so hot as this app says. Sweet goodness
