Distiller Notes
Larceny Barrel Proof is the first line-extension of the Larceny Family and offers whiskey aficionados an opportunity to experience Larceny Bourbon as their distillers do: straight out of the barrel. First released in January 2020, each release consists of around 200 barrels of 6 – 8-year-old Bourbon bottled at barrel proof and non-chill filtered to showcase a deeper character, richness and depth of flavor. Like Larceny Bourbon, Larceny Barrel proof is also made with 25% more wheat than competitors for a smoother taste.
Although Bourbon may be produced anywhere in the United States, it is most commonly associated with Bourbon County, Kentucky, where it has been produced since the late 18th century. Made from a mash bill containing at least 51% corn, the Bourbon Whiskey distillate must be aged in new, charred white oak barrels. Bourbon Whiskeys are bottled at eighty proof (40% abv) or higher and cannot contain any added color or flavor. A versatile spirit that can be sipped neat, with water or on the rocks, it also performs nicely added to cocktails like the Old Fashioned.
