Larceny Barrel Proof Bourbon Batch B521

Amazing

This one is the hottest I have tasted in a long time. It practically runs across the room and drop kicks you in the mouth. You can smell it from a mile away. Because of the hotness I had put a cube in which opened it up a bit. Floral aromatics, I got some bright notes on the palate.

Upping this from 4.

Nose - Dark cherries, some floral notes, apples, very clean oak Taste - heat bomb right away that just hits you - cinnamon and vanilla burst through. It is a punch to your tongue and whole face. Get a lot of classic winter holiday flavors after awhile and just keep coming minutes after the initial taste. Finish - very long and stays with you for awhile. And not a subtle finish after a few minutes that the heat and warmth is there for awhile

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.

A good, sharp bourbon. Very strong.
