Larceny Barrel Proof #2 for 2022 is right here, and it gives only some reasonable surprises in comparison with its predecessors.
For starters, the expertise feels fairly a bit younger than prior releases. Notes of peanut brittle and milk chocolate give the whiskey one thing of a Mr. Goodbar aroma to start out, punctuated by pink pepper and baking spice. There’s ample warmth on the nostril — however it doesn’t translate to the palate, which retreats shortly to notes of peanut shell, backed up by blended cereal grains sprinkled with cinnamon.
Larceny typically impresses with its deep chocolate and/or fruit character, neither of which make an look right here. A wholesome dousing of water helps some banana notes come to the fore, however that is hardly breaking new floor in whiskeydom. It’s a reasonably pedestrian whiskey, however on the similar time, it’s completely approachable. If you find yourself with a bottle and don’t discover straight sipping to be a lot of a thrill, be happy to combine with it.
