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.
