Larceny Barrel Proof Bourbon Batch A120

A common nose of vanilla, caramel, peanut, and dark chocolate is followed by a HOT palate of toast, coffee, dark chocolate, and cherry cough syrup. The mouthfeel is nice, thought it drinks pretty hot and leads to a medium-long, warm finish. A few drops of water open this up.

Nice. Good flavor with a little heat

Nose - (w/o water) Oaky vanilla, caramel, charred cinnamon, hint of cherry twizzler, toffee (w/ water) not much change Taste - (w/o water) Bit hot, numbing mouthfeel, buttery vanilla caramel, hint of sweet cherries, gentle cinnamon (w/ water) Greatly reduced heat, slightly more fruit, not as buttery mouthfeel Finish - (w/o water) Lingering hot cinnamon spice, buttery vanilla caramel (w/ water) Reduced spice, cinnamon caramel Score - 86/100 Final Thoughts - This was a good overall bourbon, bit hot as expected, but handled a bit of water quite well. Standard flavor profile, nothing too extreme one way or another. I think it'd be a bit hard to peg this as a wheated bourbon unless you added a bit of water, & that's where I get that nice softer mouthfeel. Otherwise, it was good, nothing off putting, standard "bourbon" profile but nothing complex or amazing about it. Would I drink it if offered? - Yes Would I specifically order it? - Maybe Would I buy a bottle? - Maybe NOTE - All reviews are done without factoring in price.

Expected ECBP light but let down,odd sour note,wanted it to be regular larceny on steroids
