Larceny Small Batch Wheated Bourbon Whiskey

Larceny is Heaven Hill's wheated bourbon — 68% corn, 20% wheat, 12% malted barley, the Old Fitzgerald recipe — named for John E. Fitzgerald, the treasury agent who used his keys to the bonded warehouses to help himself to the best barrels. Heaven Hill, the largest family-owned distillery in America, bought the Old Fitzgerald brand from Stitzel-Weller's successors in 1999 and launched Larceny in 2012 as its everyday wheater; the legend goes that Fitzgerald's picks were so good the distillery named its bourbon after the thief. Larceny Small Batch is Kentucky straight bourbon from the wheated mashbill, aged six years and up in the Bardstown rickhouses, small-batched, and bottled at 92 proof. Expect the softness wheat brings — a nose of caramel, honey, and fresh bread with light oak, a round, gentle palate of butterscotch, toffee, and baked apple with a whisper of spice, and a smooth, medium finish of vanilla and soft wood. Honest note: the affordable, always-available answer to the Weller hunt — same grain, same softness, a fraction of the price and none of the lottery; the Old Fashioned and the rocks pour for the drinker who finds rye bourbons sharp. On a cube, in an Old Fashioned, or neat. Larceny, the thief's pick.
