Larceny Barrel Proof Bourbon Batch C923

Review #343 Glass: Glencairn, rested 15 minutes. Color: Medium amber. Nose: Peanut shells and caramel. Palate: Cinnamon, clove, baking spice. Finish: along length with medium heat. The cinnamon and clove notes linger. Splash: No new flavors are revealed. Overall: 7/10 - This is the classic Larceny BP profile with no real surprises. For the price, there are more interesting expressions out there.

Maybe I had a bad bottle?? All I could taste was a musty flavor.

The nose is classic Larceny barrel proof mixing oak, caramel, and sweet cinnamon. First taste is sweet cinnamon rolls followed by classic Heaven Hill oak. Second nosing has some dark red fruit notes; taste was more cinnamon rolls with a hint of vanilla. This is probably the best tasting I've had of this particular batch.

Lovely mid to heavy body, caramel nuttiness. A little high on the spice but not intolerable

Aromas of chocolate, caramel, nuts, vanilla and cinnamon are present on the nose. Palate is surprisingly sweet and tame for the proof point. Flavors are rich and the initial sip has notes of vanilla, cherry and chocolate. As the palate evolves some of the nutiness and cinnamon from the nose appear. Heat and spice kicks in on the finish. Finish has a drying quality that lingers for a long length.
