Larceny is an NAS offering from Heaven Hill. There is a story with the bottle about John E. Fitzgerald being a treasury agent who chose only the best barrels during prohibition. It is also a wheated bourbon instead of Rye. Bottled at 46% ABV it is a nice medium amber that produces decent legs and an oily coating in the glass.
On the nose there is caramel, toffee, butter, and a bit of oak char but not much. It's a very sweet nose. The palate is more of the same, with a little burn to go with it. The finish is warm but not memorable.
This is the first Heaven Hill product I've been disappointed in. It's not bad, but just nothing memorable. It proved better in cocktails than neat or on the rocks. Will not look to buy it again. 3.5/5. Cheers
