Released in May 2024, Larceny Barrel Proof Batch #B524 is a high-proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon produced by Heaven Hill. Bottled uncut and unfiltered at 125.4 proof, it features a mashbill of 68% corn, 20% wheat and 12% malted barley.
Proof hounds will want to take note of one of the only 130+ proof ECBP batches of the last four years, but those looking for more nuance may find it a bit harder to find.
In my mind, it’s certainly in the top quartile of Larceny Barrel Proof releases in recent years, and at MSRP, worthy of a spot on just about any bourbon drinker’s shelf.
Hearty and with an edge of peppered beef brisket, this challenges any notions that a wheated bourbon will always be fruit-forward and light on its feet.
