Have had this in my cellar for a few years, time to taste it, neat.
Dark golden brown and strong coating legs in the glass. Nose I can smell from 2 feet away--charred oak, vanilla, caramelized sugar like a creme brulee, and a whiff of spice and ethanol (62.55% ABV). On the palate, big charred vanilla oak, leather, chocolate, burnt sugar, and an ethanol bloom. Big and chewy, oily coating mouthfeel, but dry. The taste then turns spicy pepper, clove, peppery sweetgrass, and tingly mint, with a burnt sugar baseline. More spicy than I remember past bottles--quite spicy given there's no rye in this wheated bourbon. The finish is long and mint chocolate, tingly, clean, very nice. An ice cube tames the ethanol a touch, but this barrel proof powers through the melt and remains a really powerful, spicy, interesting bourbon.
Wish I could taste test some older versions against this one, but... I really like the dark chewy nature of this beast. Just looked--Breaking Bourbon gave it a 3.5/5 and named it the best of the three 2024 Larceny lots, and Fred Minnock rated it the #7/100 best whiskey of 2024. Probably why I bought it and put it away. A good choice.
