The brand was first introduced in 2012 as a successor to Old Fitzgerald, another popular wheated bourbon from the same distillery. The name &#8220;Larceny&#8221; is a reference to the legend of John E. Fitzgerald, a treasury agent who used his keys to steal barrels of bourbon from the bonded warehouses where he worked.<\/p>\n<p>Like Old Fitzgerald, Larceny Bourbon is made with a mash bill that consists of 68% corn, 20% wheat, and 12% malted barley. This high wheat content gives the bourbon a smooth and sweet flavor profile, with notes of caramel, vanilla, and oak.<\/p>\n<p>Larceny Bourbon is also aged in charred oak barrels for six to twelve years, which adds complexity and depth to the flavor.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Price Range<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>According to my research, Larceny Bourbon is priced at an average of $25 per 750ml bottle. However, the price can vary depending on the location and retailer. Some stores may offer the bourbon for as little as $20, while others may charge up to $30.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-13765 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/thewhiskylady.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Larceny-Bourbon.png\" alt=\"Larceny Bourbon\" width=\"491\" height=\"611\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thewhiskylady.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Larceny-Bourbon.png 750w, https:\/\/thewhiskylady.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Larceny-Bourbon-241x300.png 241w, https:\/\/thewhiskylady.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Larceny-Bourbon-642x800.png 642w, https:\/\/thewhiskylady.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Larceny-Bourbon-150x187.png 150w, https:\/\/thewhiskylady.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Larceny-Bourbon-350x436.png 350w, https:\/\/thewhiskylady.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Larceny-Bourbon-485x604.png 485w, https:\/\/thewhiskylady.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Larceny-Bourbon-655x816.png 655w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 491px) 100vw, 491px\" \/>photo credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/larcenybourbon.com\/images\/small-batch-banner-mob.png?ver=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">larcenybourbon.com<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tasting_Notes\"><\/span><strong>Tasting Notes<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><strong>Aroma<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>When I first poured Larceny Bourbon into my glass, I was hit with a sweet and fruity aroma that was balanced with a hint of oak. The scent of honey and citrus was prominent, and I could detect a subtle hint of vanilla. Overall, the aroma was inviting and pleasant.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Flavor<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>As I took my first sip of Larceny Bourbon, I was pleasantly surprised by how smooth it was. The initial taste was sweet, with notes of honey and peach. The wheat in the mash bill gave the bourbon a creamy and almost buttery flavor. As I continued to sip, I noticed a subtle spice that balanced out the sweetness.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Finish<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The finish on Larceny Bourbon was long and smooth. The flavors of honey and citrus lingered on my tongue, and I could still taste the creamy texture. The oak flavor became more prominent, and I noticed a slight bitterness that was not unpleasant.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Rating<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Overall, I would rate Larceny Bourbon as a solid choice for bourbon enthusiasts. Its smoothness and balance of flavors make it a great choice for sipping on its own or mixing into a cocktail. I would give it a rating of 8 out of 10.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mixing_and_Pairing\"><\/span><strong>Mixing and Pairing<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-13766 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/thewhiskylady.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Mixer-2-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"Best Mixers\" width=\"464\" height=\"696\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thewhiskylady.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Mixer-2-scaled.jpeg 1707w, https:\/\/thewhiskylady.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Mixer-2-200x300.jpeg 200w, https:\/\/thewhiskylady.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Mixer-2-533x800.jpeg 533w, https:\/\/thewhiskylady.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Mixer-2-768x1152.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/thewhiskylady.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Mixer-2-1024x1536.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/thewhiskylady.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Mixer-2-1365x2048.jpeg 1365w, https:\/\/thewhiskylady.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Mixer-2-150x225.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/thewhiskylady.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Mixer-2-350x525.jpeg 350w, https:\/\/thewhiskylady.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Mixer-2-1100x1650.jpeg 1100w, https:\/\/thewhiskylady.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Mixer-2-485x728.jpeg 485w, https:\/\/thewhiskylady.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Mixer-2-655x983.jpeg 655w, https:\/\/thewhiskylady.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Mixer-2-720x1080.jpeg 720w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 464px) 100vw, 464px\" \/>photo credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/photo\/coca-cola-glass-bottle-macro-photography-2983100\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.pexels.com<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Best Mixers<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>When it comes to mixing Larceny Bourbon, I prefer to keep it simple.<\/p>\n<p>The high wheat mash bill gives it a unique, sweet flavor profile that doesn&#8217;t need much to enhance it.<\/p>\n<p>However, if you&#8217;re looking for a little extra kick, I recommend adding a splash of ginger ale or cola.<\/p>\n<p>The sweetness of the soda complements the bourbon&#8217;s wheat notes nicely, creating a refreshing and balanced cocktail.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-13767 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/thewhiskylady.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Cocktail-4.jpg\" alt=\"Cocktail Suggestions\" width=\"617\" height=\"617\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thewhiskylady.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Cocktail-4.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thewhiskylady.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Cocktail-4-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thewhiskylady.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Cocktail-4-735x735.jpg 735w, https:\/\/thewhiskylady.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Cocktail-4-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/thewhiskylady.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Cocktail-4-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thewhiskylady.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Cocktail-4-350x350.jpg 350w, https:\/\/thewhiskylady.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Cocktail-4-485x485.jpg 485w, https:\/\/thewhiskylady.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Cocktail-4-655x655.jpg 655w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 617px) 100vw, 617px\" \/>photo credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/32\/64323695_ad8102d8db_b.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">live.staticflickr.com<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Cocktail Suggestions<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for some cocktail inspiration, try one of these classic bourbon drinks:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Old Fashioned: Combine 2 oz.
