Description

Larceny Barrel Proof Bourbon Batch C920

Cinnamon spice, nutmeg, and brown sugar mingle together forming an initial spice-filled burst with a sweet accent. The spices settle against a backdrop of light oak and sweet french toast scent. Odd but welcome, the french toast aroma is pleasing, and combined with the rest of the scents makes for an extremely enjoyable and inviting nose that has you intoxicated for what’s to come.

Served up on an oaky-caramel base, cinnamon spice, nutmeg, brown sugar, graham cracker, and syrup-soaked french toast come together to form a nicely balanced mix. It’s equal parts oak, spice, and sweet. The flavors are purposeful in their delivery, with an intensity that’s spot on. Overall it’s a delicious combination of flavors that highlights the heights a well-rounded barrel-proof wheated bourbon is capable of.

A warming heat comes initially, with cinnamon candy spice, nutmeg, and sweet caramel behind it. As it fades, the french toast note mingles back in, complemented by dry oak. It remains more sweet than oaky and doesn’t develop the astringency often found in wheated mashbills and in a number of past Larceny barrel proof batches in particular. Long and exceptionally well done.
