Heritage
Larceny Small Batch Bourbon is a wheated Kentucky straight bourbon that honors the legacy of John E. Fitzgerald, a man who famously liberated only the best barrels from rickhouses. Crafted by Heaven Hill Distillery, this 92-proof bourbon replaces the traditional rye grain with wheat, resulting in a smoother, softer profile that’s rich with character. Expect aromas of honey, toffee, and fresh-baked bread. The palate delivers layered notes of caramel, vanilla, butterscotch, and baking spice, with a rounded, buttery mouthfeel and a gentle oak finish. Larceny is a versatile bourbon ideal for sipping neat, enjoying over ice, or using in elevated takes on classic cocktails like the Old Fashioned or Manhattan.
