The purest expression of Larceny's acclaimed wheated bourbon mash bill — Larceny Barrel Proof Batch 523 is non-chill filtered and bottled at full barrel proof, with no water added. The "523" designation marks this as the second batch of 2023, released in May as part of Heaven Hill's three-times-a-year Barrel Proof series. Bottled at a bold 124.4 proof (62.2% ABV), this is Larceny at its most intense, complex, and rewarding — aged 6 to 8 years and selected from a small batch of hand-chosen barrels.
Tasting Notes
- Nose: Rich caramel, honey, toasted wheat, and vanilla with a warm, concentrated barrel-proof intensity
- Palate: Bold yet beautifully balanced with caramel, butterscotch, toasted oak, and the signature soft wheated sweetness — amplified by the full barrel proof
- Finish: Long, warm, and deeply satisfying with lingering caramel, spice, and a gentle wheated sweetness
