Larceny Kentucky Straight Very Small Batch Bourbon Whiskey Review

Larceny's small-batch bourbon is made using a high wheat mash bill — similar to Pappy Van Winkle — and each bottling is pulled from 200 barrels or less, according to the brand. (Larceny's roots can also be traced back to Julian P. “Pappy” Van Winkle himself.) It's a great intro to the wheated bourbon category, with an attractive butterscotch nose, leading to a rich, honeyed palate. This whiskey tastes great neat, on the rocks, or in any classic bourbon cocktail.
