#1 Whiskey Of 2022 - Breaking Bourbon
"After three years and 9 batch releases later, the Larceny Barrel Proof brand has finally reached the height we always felt it was capable of. Larceny Barrel Proof Batch C922 was able to achieve this the good old-fashioned way, balance, complexity, and potency. It manages to tame its astringency and tannin notes that can plague high-proof wheaters, while contrasting them with sweet flavors all while keeping its oaky side intact. Larceny Barrel Proof Batch C922 reminded us that wheat may be the gentler grain, but that doesn’t mean it can’t produce a knockout pour. Coming in at 126.6 proof, Batch C922 is the highest proof release for the brand to date, and with it, brings a concentration of flavors. Maintaining its 6-8 year age, Heaven Hill delivered a mature-tasting bourbon that still manages to have a bit of a spring in its step. And with a flavor profile steeped in oaky caramel, cinnamon spice, nutmeg, brown sugar, graham cracker, and syrup-soaked french toast, it's hard to go wrong. Ultimately, the bind that holds all of it together is how well-rounded it is. It’s perhaps the first thing you notice after taking a sip. Larceny Barrel Proof Batch C922 is a bourbon that immediately makes a statement; amazing bourbon can be had by all and at an affordable price. Batch C922 is a bourbon that will define the series going forward and deserves to be experienced by all whiskey lovers."
