Larceny is a wheated bourbon, or wheater as the lingo goes, from the Heaven Hill Distillery. The story on the name is intriguing and all over the web so if interested take a look. And honestly the name might be the most interesting thing about this expression, unfortunately. To me it seems like this is a relatively young wheated bourbon, and that possibly several more years in the barrel would have greatly enhanced its character, to tame the overly spicy nature and added much needed richness, complexity, and depth. Larceny sort of surprised me, in that it's profile seems more similar to a regular rye bourbon than wheated. Weller SR and regular Makers are my direct wheated comparisons here. Both of those are much sweeter and less spicy than Larceny, which I was surprised at its much less sweet profile. Of the three, I greatly prefer Weller SR. Enjoyed neat in a Glencairn. On the nose, the Larceny is lightly sweet with notes of toasted nuts, vanilla, and some fruit maybe banana. The palate here is what surprised me the most. After first sip it was immediately very spicy with some long burn. Other wheaters have much less spice and burn and more sweetness, which is why I stated this seems more like a standard rye mash bill instead of wheat. Palate flavors, while decent, are much less complex and enjoyable than the Weller. Larceny offers a nice nuttiness similar to toasted walnut, very light florals, and isn't overly sweet, like I think a wheater should be. Finish isn't very complex or long and gives notes of sweet bread and nuts. Very little in the way of barrel wood or richness and depth here, which is somewhat disappointing if you like that. Again the Weller provides a far superior finish. There's just not a lot of complexity or interesting notes to get overly excited about Larceny. Honestly if this is what Fitzgerald was breaking in and stealing, maybe he should have raided the Weller barrels instead. I guess there's a good reason why folks are so rabid over the Weller wheater collections. Overall Larceny is an enjoyable sip, even if it differs from what the typical wheat profile should be. It does offer, I suppose, a change of pace in the category, but I wouldn't go around showing Larceny off as a representative example of the category. Weller SR is less money and offers much greater bang for the buck in every way. If you can't find Weller or you're tired of standard Makers, this is worth a go. It's not exceptional in any area but is a decent sip nonetheless. It's not bad, just not outstanding, and when there are outstanding options at the same price, maybe give those a look first. Cheers!
