Larceny is a unique bourbon for sure. The nose is what sets this one apart from others. There's an odd nutty banana quality about the nose, almost like a banana nut bread. I don't think I've ever smelled a bourbon that smelled quite like this.
The taste begins a bit spicy. But not in the herbaceous way that rye hits, nor the burning sensation you get from higher proof bourbons. No, this one carries a little bit of actual spice. Like cinnamon spice. The middle of the taste brings on a rich and sweet quality reminiscent of Makers 46. The finish slowly sets in with bit of nutty sweetness, like honey roasted peanuts. Its a shame that finish fades so quickly because the actual taste of it is quite pleasant indeed.
The price point of Larceny makes it a great bourbon to purchase to shake up your regular daily drink rotation. If you haven't already tried it: its well worth a go.
