I've been anticipating this in NC ever since it was announced, and finally got my hands on a bottle today after bugging my local ABC store weekly. After two glasses tonight my first reaction is minor disappointment. I love Heaven Hill but am not a huge fan of Larceny. Still, I love high proof whiskey and I thought the barrel proof would be an improvement over the regular release. At the moment this is my least favorite high proof bourbon I've had in the last year. It is easily the strongest ethanol nose and taste of them all, which is not dissimilar from their 92 proof. The spices come out, but not a pleasant dessert spice. Whatever fruits in here are muted, except the apples others get. This is much drier and harsher than the ECBP A119 that I have open. Obviously this is a first reaction and I'm going to let this bottle sit for a few weeks/months before I give an updated review. I prefer Maker's Mark and its Cask Strength to both Larceny products. But it's still awesome to have a big brand release a new cask strength, especially when wheated are less common. Batch A120, 123.2 proof
