Tasting Notes

Nose

As with any high proof bourbon, nostrils be forewarned. This pops with a bright almond/nutty nose enveloped in rich oak. You find caramel, honey, clove, flowers, and a touch of vanilla bean. The abv is going to hit but if youre careful it wont fry your nose. It really opens as it warms up.

Palate

was rather discerning, and he would pull whiskey from favorite barrels. Accordingly, the lighter barrels were known as Fitzgerald Barrels and ultimately, he was immortalized with the brand Old Fitzgerald. Some jobs have better perks than others. Now the times have changed, and Stitzel-Weller is owned by Diageo, Van Winkle is part of Buffalo Trace who is owned by Sazerac, and Old Fitzgerald is part of Heaven Hill. However, the legend of Mr. Fitzgerald has a newer chapter by releasing Larceny bourbon in homage to his illegal taking of the property of another with intent to deprive the owner thereof. With that, we turn to the glass. We review Larceny Barrel Proof Batch B523, the second 2023 release of the high proof version of this wheated bourbon. (image via Heaven Hill) Tasting Notes: L
