Larceny Barrel Proof Bourbon Batch B522

Wow! Got some heat on the palate. Great nose; maybe not as good as Elijah Craig B522 but pretty good. Long finish, nice lasting flavors across the palate. Second sip was even better; rich flavors of butterscotch and bread on the palate. Compared it to Elijah Craig B522 and EC isn’t as hot going down. Both are exceptional and worth the money.

Just cracked this so the nose is a little hot but I think will open up to brown sugar cinnamon. Palate has some cinnamon red hots and is pretty long finish. I think this is a good one.

Wow! Nearly 124 proof, and that is readily apparent on the nose. Strong alcohol whiff that really hit hard. But I also get walnuts (more on that soon)... Drank with an ice cube. Sweet with a moderate warm hug in the chest. The burn lingers in your chest, but soon you start tasting A LOT. I got the usual oak and leather, as well as tart cherry. But walnuts came through — and I love walnuts! Also, I got hit with a blast of spiced apples at the mid-palate. Nice. This is what I consider a "complex" bourbon. Not sure if higher proof = more complex, but in this case I'd say yes. I want to note that I've had the Larceny 92, and I was none too impressed. This B522 blows it out of the water.

Freshly cracked bottle and tasted neat in a Glencairn. Nose has a lot of spice and good amount of ethanol burn to it. Faint hint of cherries, vanilla, cinnamon, cloves, and cola, but its quite overwhelmed by the ethanol. Might be because it is a fresh pour. Taste is very nutty and spicy, with a little bit of cherry and vanilla sweetness at the end. Goes down with some heat for sure. Finish is slightly bitter and sweet and lasts decently long. Slightly dries out the mouth. Overall a great bottle to have, especially at the price point I can get it for. I enjoyed the A122 just a bit more and felt it was a little more complex and flavorful. Maybe this one will open up with time and really let some of those hidden/masked flavors come out more.

Cherries and cinnamon on the nose, some heat up front on the the palate that is quickly dispersed and tempered by the beautiful viscosity and oak and biscuit flavors. Finish is long and pleasant with a nice hug, cherries and cinnamon again. Add a couple drops of water and the profile simply expands upon itself with sugar cookies and nuts being added into the mix. Excellent
