Larceny Barrel Proof (Batch A124), 62.1%

Price: 65 Issue: Summer 2024 Reviewer: David Fleming Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey

Dark amber in color. Soft aromas of caramel, a touch of savory herbs, tobacco leaf, poached pear, and fresh-baked bread. The palate is spicy and powerful at first but mellows quickly, revealing chocolate cake, cinnamon, baking spice, and cherry pie. The long finish is spicy and soft at the same time, and loaded with chocolate and cherries. This one is notable for its softness, flavor integration, and smooth texture, even without water.
