Larceny Small Batch Bourbon

Larceny Small Batch Bourbon shines when sipped neat or with a splash of water to open up its flavors, but it also holds its own in classic whiskey cocktails. This versatile bourbon is a year-round spirit that pairs beautifully with hearty dishes like barbecue or rich desserts, making it perfect for cozy evenings by the fire or lively summer gatherings alike.

Nose: Buttery caramel and vanilla bean lead, followed by hints of honey and fresh bread. Light oak and a touch of cinnamon spice round out the aroma.

Palate: Smooth and sweet upfront with flavors of butterscotch, toffee, and brown sugar. Mid-palate introduces notes of toasted nuts, baking spices, and a subtle fruitiness reminiscent of ripe pears. The wheated mashbill contributes a soft, creamy texture.

Finish: Medium-long finish with lingering warmth. Caramel and oak dominate, accompanied by gentle spice and a hint of leather. Leaves a pleasant sweetness on the tongue with minimal burn.

Larceny Small Batch Bourbon is crafted using a unique "wheated" mashbill that substitutes wheat for the more common rye grain, resulting in a smoother, softer flavor profile. The bourbon is then aged in charred oak barrels for 6-12 years before being hand-selected and blended in small batches of no more than 100 barrels, ensuring consistent quality and character in each bottle.

• Larceny Small Batch Bourbon uses wheat as its secondary grain instead of the more common rye, resulting in a softer, smoother flavor profile. This wheat recipe is inspired by the legendary Old Fitzgerald bourbons, which were allegedly "stolen" from the government warehouse by treasury agent John E. Fitzgerald in the 1800s.
• The brand's unique key-shaped logo isn't just a clever design choice. It's a nod to John E. Fitzgerald's position as a treasury agent, which gave him access to the keys to the government warehouses where the best barrels of bourbon were kept.
• Larceny Small Batch is aged for an average of 6 years, but the distillers use barrels from the 4th to 6th floors of the rickhouse exclusively. These "sweet spots" in the warehouse are where temperature fluctuations are most dramatic, leading to more interaction between the bourbon and the barrel for a richer flavor.
