Whiskey Review: Larceny Small Batch Bourbon

Today, we’re reviewing Larceny Small Batch Bourbon from Heaven Hill. This 92-proof whiskey is Heaven Hill’s baseline wheated bourbon offering and a direct competitor to Weller Special Reserve. The mash bill is undisclosed, and while it’s non-age stated, we know it’s at least four years old. Larceny traces its roots back to the Old Fitzgerald brand, which Heaven Hill acquired years ago. For a while, the company wasn’t doing much with the brand, but Larceny was released as a nod to Old Fitz before Heaven Hill brought that line back as a premium product. In contrast, Larceny has stayed true to its value roots — the “people’s wheated bourbon.” We were eager to revisit this bottle. Bob remembers not being a huge fan when he tried it years ago, but with the rising popularity of Larceny’s Barrel Proof expressions, it was time to give the 92-proof version another chance. This review is taken from our episode " Vertigo (1958) / Larceny
