Nose - Brown sugar, honey roasted peanuts, cereal grain, corn dust, powdered cinnamon, caramelized orange, strong ethanol and oak.
Palate - Tannic, caramel, molasses, orange jellies, peanut brittle, and cocoa. But then the hot, dry finish kicks in and it is long. Tannic oak, clove, powdered cinnamon, molasses, and super hot ethanol.
I bought 250 mL of this off of a friend during a night of trades, not wanting to commit to 375 mL given my distaste for A120. This is a significant improvement over A120, but I just don't get it with Larceny. Every time I drink any version of it, it tastes far spicier and hotter than its proof. The finish is frankly unpleasant at times. The strangest thing to me is many blogs called this sweet and lower ethanol burn than expected. I always get the opposite. It must be my taste buds.

I’m right there with you. Every Larceny I’ve ever had was hotter than it should’ve been, no matter the proof.
