Larceny Barrel Proof A124, the primary of three annual cask-strength releases of Heaven Hill’s wheated bourbon model, rolled out to retail this January. The high-wheat recipe is 124.2 proof.
The “A” within the title is the primary in a three-part A, B, C launch collection. The “1” represents the month launched, January, whereas the “24” on the finish stands for the 12 months. This naming conventions is customary throughout all of the model’s releases on this widespread, yearly collection.
Every launch on this program ages 6-8 years, bottled straight from the barrel. The proof and flavors differ by launch, however the mash invoice stays the identical: 68% corn, 20% wheat and 12% malted barley.
GSN’s Remarks: Citrus, malt, peppermint and licorice on the nostril, with a smoky penumbra. Flavors are candy, however not overly so, with anise, orange peel and apple tones. Skinny mouthfeel, with an extended and clean end. A nice and accessible whiskey. GSN Score: A-
