A nice story. That is what this dram has. This is a 4.0 because of my scoring system but it surely feels like a 3.5. Well, "Larceny" is an english term for a non violent steal, and has a lock and a key on the bottle, next to John E. Fitzgerald name. Apparently, Heaven Hill discovered that John E. Fitzgerald wasn't a distiller but really a bonded treasury agent, who had the keys to a distillery. The myth says that he entered at night to the distillery and drank from the best casks. But this great story is not all. This Larceny Bourbon is a "wheated" bourbon. That means that it has 51% at least of corn whiskey and the rest is wheat whiskey, not having any rye on it. Well, bottled at 46%abv, tawny color. On the nose, lots of aromas, but not quite spectacular. Typical bourbon aroma but more herbal. Banana very dim not as protagonist as in other bourbons. Brown sugar, Caramel, Herbal vanilla note; Spicy but not a traditional spice: a rare more herbal cinnamon. After 5 minutes it opens to vanilla ice cream and dry cake. On the palate, it doesn't deliver the promise you get on the nose. Bitter dry fruits: Its like prunes but bitter, I don't know how to explain it. Nice body but too bitter, little spicy - ginger; There is some wood influence but is clearly too young. Tobbacco and bitter coffee beans. Finish has a wet raw rice note, very long. Overall this is interesting, might make a great mixer due to its bitterness. I give it a 80 over 100, getting exactly to the 4.0 score, eventhough it feels like a 75 over 100.
