Region: Kentucky

Type: Bourbon

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 60.5%

Score: 93 Points

2021’s second batch of Heaven Hill’s Larceny Barrel Proof continues the wheated Bourbon’s track record of excellence, with a spicy nose and touches of charred oak, dried fruits, caramel, and honey. The taste is spicy and intense with black pepper and a hint of cinnamon complemented by touches of molasses cookies and brown sugar underneath. The finish is long and fades away gently with an excellent balance. (July, 2021)
