Larceny Barrel Proof Bourbon Batch B523

Bourbon — Kentucky, USA

Reviewed January 12, 2024 (edited February 17, 2024)
4.5
4.5 out of 5 stars
Nose features lots of good things in the form of caramel, vanilla, golden raisin, green apple, toffee, cashew nut, and an odd but not off-putting musty book aroma. Ethanol nice and low given the proof. Not to be lazy, but the palate matches the nose REALLY well so see above. The caramel turns a little burnt Ala creme brûlée, along with some brown sugar, molasses, cake batter, and cola. It’s not the most complex thing ever, but damn the flavors are rich, punchy, and nicely integrated. Finish is a pleasant slow morph with the vanilla/caramel carrying nicely as flavors of barrel char, cracked pepper, oak cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and mint emerge. Mouthfeel is downright chewy and suitably oily but also somehow manages to be prickly especially after repeated sips in short succession. This hit a lot of the right notes for me and is probably one of the better Larceny BP releases I’ve reviewed. At 84.99, I feel it’s a solid value and I will continue buying future Larceny BP offerings at this price point for the foreseeable future.
84.99 USD per Bottle
