Larceny Barrel Proof Bourbon Batch B520
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA

September 19, 2020 (edited May 29, 2021)
Larceny Barrel Proof is a wheated bourbon limited to three releases per year (A-January, B-May, and C-September) by Heaven Hill Distillery. It is a non-chill filtered bourbon botted at full barrel proof. In the case of B520 it was 122.2 proof/61.1% ABV. The tasting was hot throughout but the sweetness from the wheat mashbill evens it out. Its not the greatest wheated boubon, but a good alternative to the hard-to-find Weller series.
Color: Dark sepia
On the nose, the alcohol aromas are clearly present from the beginning but after some time nosing notes of maple, honey, butterscotch, caramel, and brown butter arise. The palate is very spicy but with nice notes of caramel, brown sugar, cinnamon, and charred oak. The finish is long and heated with some fading sweetness and toasted oakiness.

Seems like this isn't as well liked as ECBP. I hope this will improve in quality over time like WTRB apparently has though.
