Purchased on 2/23/18. Opened on 2/?/18. Finished on 1/7/19. Distillery: Heaven Hill Brand: John E. Fitzgerald Larceny NAS 46% Price: 22 USD I used this whiskey for cooking mostly. The only redeeming feature is that it makes my steaks taste better. The basic Jack Daniels that chain restaurants like to boast about using gives steaks too much sweetness. I don’t like the traditional American taste profile of sweet and savory. This Larceny adds a more corn and molasses note to steak, which can be balanced with some butter, lime, and herbs. It makes for a more natural steak. I’m talking about cooking meat because I truly hate this whiskey when sipped. It is way too nutty, and it’s nuts that have gone bad. The mouthfeel makes you want to scrape your tongue. The finish is long and atrocious. It will ruin your entire evening. Shouldn’t have expected much after taking into account the branding, which boasts about theft. This is a stolen ring made of fake gold. No thank you. I think I’ll end up using Buffalo Trace for my cooking bourbon; similarly priced, but it doesn’t have to all go into the fire.
