Larceny Barrel Proof (Batch C923), 63.2%
Price: ● Issue: Fall 2023 ● Reviewer: David Fleming ● Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey
This year’s third batch is honeyed, warm, and inviting on the nose, with some vanilla sweetness. The palate is big but well-textured, with a full mouthfeel of dark chocolate, some vanilla, and red fruit notes of raspberries and strawberries. That’s followed by a richly herbal finish of chocolate and red fruit. A well-crafted mélange of herbs, spice, berries, tobacco leaf, leather, and bitter chocolate, with an excellent finish.
