I've learn that 125 proof is not for me. Drinking neat all Inget is dry and spices. The flavors are all muddy. Very rye forward in a bad way. I'm guessing that you don't get something with a proof od 125 thinking that it's a sipper, neat. It takes a lot of ice to smooth this one out. Knock nack the rye.amdlower the proof. With ice I get caramel, cinnamon and nutmeg. I sent $60. I love Larceny. But this one I won't buy again.
