Nose: I usually don’t say this but, don’t breath in to deep or you might burn your nostrils. There is a good nose but a little to harsh to be pleasant. Pallet: Not as complex as I would have thought with the 115 proof. The overall pallet is smoother than expected with hints of caramel, spice and everything nice. If you like a pour with spice this is for you. Finish: There is a good heat but not to much spice, just get a warm cinnamon. Next time I’ll have to try it with a drop of water to see what else opens up and need to compare this against the Elijah Craig barrel proof. I’m not a huge Larceny fan neat but do enjoy it when a Coke, not ready to do that yet but it might be rather good but would need a acquire another bottle before I tried that.
