This review is a testimony to the deceitfulness of memory. I remember not particularly liking Larceny, but wanted to try it again to see if my palate had changed any. Well, when I looked at my review of this bourbon just over a year ago, on June 21, 2022, I found that I gave it the same number of stars, and liked it about as much as I did tonight. If my memory had served me better, I'd've bought my second bottle long ago, instead of waiting a year. The price at Kelly Liquors hasn't gone up so much as a penny in the intervening year - it still costs $28.99 for a fifth. It's 92 proof whisky, with no age statement. Heaven Hill hasn't released the mash bill, but a couple of online sources give it as 68% corn, 20% wheat, and 12% barley. NOSE: Honey with cinnamon, something nutty that might be almonds, meringue, musty corn, something floral, puffed wheat, creamed corn, ambrosia - specifically the marshmallow component, and pancakes. MOUTHFEEL: Buttery TASTE: Honey with oak, peaches and bananas together, black pepper, and butter. FINISH: Medium, with a very emphatic oak note and some black pepper. SUMMARY: This bourbon isn't as great as the hype I've encountered makes it out to be, but it's nowhere near as undistinguished as my memory told me it was. It's actually a good bourbon, though not the best. I was getting notes tonight on both the nose and the palate that surprised me - some I don't often get, and others I've never gotten before. What I got tonight was very different from what I got a year ago, and while some of that is surely a more educated palate, some of it is...well, it beats the living daylights out of me. But I do have one really good thing to say - though the finish isn't spectacular, it leads into a very long and enjoyable Kentucky hug. RATING: Good 3.125 stars 62.5/100 6.25/10
