Larceny Barrel Proof A123 review

Tasting Notes

About:

62.9% ABV/125.8 Proof. Mash bill: 68% corn, 20% wheat, 12% malted Barley. Aged 6-8 years in new, charred oak barrels.
Appearance:
Light golden
Nose:
Vanilla and molasses come through for me on the nose, with almost a hint of cinnamon without any of the kick. There is also a bit of an alcohol burn, which should be expected on anything that is barrel proof.
Palate:


Finish:
Comments:
If you like your bourbon hot, this is for you. The sweet vanilla and molasses nose disappear a bit on the palate as you are left with a sweet graham cracker taste that has hints of char to it, followed up by a decent amount of kick to finish things off. Personally, it is a bit too hot for my taste, but if you are an old school bourbon drinker, or someone that loves barrel strength whiskey, this is something you should definitely seek out.

Editor’s Note: This whiskey was either bought as a sample by The Whiskey Wash or provided to us as a review sample by the party behind it. Per our editorial policies, this in no way influenced the outcome of this review.
