Larceny Barrel Proof, which launched in 2020, is released three times per year. The newest batch is called C922—meaning the third batch released in September of 2022. The whiskey is generally aged between six and eight years, a sweet spot for bourbon maturation, and the proof usually hovers somewhere above 120. C922 was bottled at 126.6 proof, the highest of the three released this year—in fact, this appears to be the highest proof in this whiskey’s three-year existence.
There’s very little spice, a hint of butterscotch, and the finish has a touch of tannic dryness. It’s an excellent bourbon, and if it’s too hot for your taste a splash water will soften things up.Larceny Barrel Proof is priced at $60, and while you’ll likely pay more than that it’s not going to come anywhere near the level ofor other bourbons with that reputation.
