Larceny Barrel Proof A122 Review
The first extension from Heaven Hill’s Larceny brand launched in 2020, and now enjoys three distinct releases throughout the year. Produced using the distillery’s wheated mash bill, the added proof takes the sweet and approachable flavor profile to a whole new level. The best part about this whiskey is that the heady ABV doesn't interfere or argue with its sweet character. Instead, the alluring notes of dried fruit, maple, and baking spice are boosted, and the finish has gained a decade or two in age. Our advice: Pour over a large chunk of ice or add a splash of water.
