Larceny Barrel Proof Bourbon Batch C921

Fantastic. Long finish. Complex, nutty, sweet, spicy. All well blended together. Can thing of only a couple other bourbons that compete.

I'm not generally that impressed with wheated bourbons, although I understand the appeal - they're easy to drink, but similar to Irish whiskies, I find them often a little bit boring. Batches C920 And C921 were consumed consecutively rather than side-by-side. When I poured the first I wasn't thinking I was going to have more than one sample. The 920 was good but didn't leave an exceptionally strong impression. Pretty classic wheated bourbon flavors, although amped up with the barrel proof. The 921, however, was really nice. I’m not sure I can put my finger on what made the 921 stand out, but it’s one I wouldn’t mind having more of to figure it out. Thank you for the samples @ctbeck11

Nose: Rich brown sugar, dark fruit, delightfully oaky with ever so slight caramel, vanilla and citrus. Imagine sitting at a plate of waffles covered in hot rich maple syrup sitting next to a man wear a pleasantly spicy citrus cologne. Palate: Rich dark brown sugar, dark fruits with slight citrus and oak Finish: Semi long warm to hot finish that makes the mouth and lips tingle with only a tiny momentary hug; flavored with sweet oak and vanilla This is the shelf iteration to its fullest richest potential. D@mn this is delicious. I am new to the exploration of bourbon and even I could easily handle the proof. Hot enough to entertain but easy enough to drink without proofing down. My area charges $5-$10 more than MSRP across the board so $70 is not out of the realm of reason for this amazing wheated bourbon. If I was a hoarder this would totally be bunker worthy.

Big stone fruits. Very mellow for its proof. BIG fan.
