Larceny Barrel Proof B524 is the May 2024 batch at 125.4 proof — Breaking Bourbon rated it 3.5 out of 5 and called its finish the best of the recent batches, Mexican chocolate and cinnamon under the wheat. Larceny is Heaven Hill’s wheated bourbon — 68% corn, 20% wheat, 12% malted barley, the Old Fitzgerald recipe — named for the treasury agent who used his warehouse keys to help himself to the best barrels; Barrel Proof launched in 2020 in three batches a year, lettered A, B, and C with the month and year. B524 is Kentucky straight bourbon from the wheated mashbill, aged six to eight years in the Bardstown rickhouses, bottled uncut and unfiltered at 125.4 proof. Breaking Bourbon: heavy caramel, spicy pepper, potent barrel char, melted chocolate, cinnamon, roasted mixed nuts, and fresh-baked bread on the nose; dark fruit, cinnamon, robust baking spice, hazelnut, and raisin on a spice-forward, medium-bodied palate; and a finish of cinnamon, Mexican chocolate, barrel char, nutmeg, and black pepper, hot but dissipating quickly. Bourbon Guy and Bourbon & Banter both rank it among the better 2024 batches. Honest note: Larceny Barrel Proof is the enthusiast’s wheater — Weller Full Proof strength at a third of the price — and B524 is the one the reviewers preferred that year. Neat, a few drops of water. Larceny, B524.
