If you enjoy sweeter bourbons like I do and are looking for something new to try and not break the bank, this is a worthy bottle to put on your shelf. Larceny is a 92 proof small batch wheated bourbon produced by Heaven Hill Distillery. I think it’s aged around 6-7 years if I am not mistaken. While I realize everyone has a different palate when it comes to bourbon, Larceny beats a lot of bourbons that cost more and have bigger names. I have a feeling the price on this bourbon won’t stay around $25 for very long.

Larceny is a brand extension of Heaven Hill's Old Fitzgerald line. According to their story, back in the day, John E. Fitzgerald used his privilege of holding the keys to Pappy Van Winkle's bonded warehouse, where the Old Fitzgerald bourbons were kept, to steal the best casks for himself, known as the "Fitzgerald Barrels." Larceny is a wheated blend of selected barrels made in honor of this legend.- AGE 6 YEARS

Funny, my cousin & bandmate just texted me the other day that he found a new bourbon he really liked and it was a pic of Larceny. It is on my to-try list for sure! Thank you for sharing your review.

For those into home aging, this may be a good one to age since it's affordable. It does wonders to your bourbon (or gin, or rum, etc).

Huskee Interesting, Please enlighten me. Maybe I am not keeping my collection long enough?
-
Pirate Scott Not referring to keeping in their bottles like you would wine, I'm referring to aging in a small oak barrel which you can buy online.
-
Right, once bottled, the aging stops. You'd have to re-barrel it. I looked into this last year, never actually bought a kit, though.

Folks, I am going to have to revise my recview on this bourbon. A month later and this bourbon is not as enjoyable as it was when I first opened it. Some bourbons just get better once they get a little air. This one surprisingly has been the opposite. I really liked it when I first opened the bottle. It’s hard to put a finger on it, but it now has a musty undertone that lingers on the palate. The sweetness has also diminished. I’m disappointed because I had high hopes for this one as it gets great reviews just about everywhere. Maybe I got a bad bottle?

It’s crazy how bourbons can change when they sit on the shelf. Buffalo Trace is a bourbon that was just OK when I opened it. I just didn’t get the hype. After a few weeks sitting on my shelf, the flavor profile actually improved and it’s a bourbon I am starting to enjoy now.
-
Maybe you have a musty cork? Is it a cork stopper?
-
It is a cork stopper, but nothing seemed off about it. I don’t know. I might revisit another bottle down the road.

Total Wine shows it at $29. Not bad. Don't buy the cheaper one, it is on the bottom shelf for a reason.

I actually have a bottle and, honestly, I don’t care for it. Henry McKenna 10 year BiB is one of my favorites and I can often get it for $30. I also like Evan Williams White label better. To each his own, I suppose. But I know that it does get good reviews and a lot of people like it.
-
I didn't care for this one either ColonialDawg
