  • Despite showcasing a litany of the same flavors as it almost always does, C923 somehow doesn’t coalesce as well as the other two releases this year, A123 and B523.

  • In the end, Larceny Barrel Proof Batch C923 doesn’t come close to upholding the standard that Batch B523 delivered, and in fact ends up being the weakest of the 2023 batches.

  • At the cost of a touch of ethanol, drinkers are rewarded with all sorts of decadent dessert character, and this only reinforces that Larceny BP is a wheater I could possibly take with me when doomed for a desert island, someday.

  • Nose:

    Bold and sweet, full of maple, pancake syrup, brown butter, toffee and cherry cola. It's powerful, fun and loaded with wheater character and pleasant sweet oak. Yum.

  • Taste:

    Thick mouthfeel with a prickle of heat. There's a bit more ethanol on this release compared to the first two of 2023, but it's far from punishing. Maple, cinnamon, pepper, clove and a hint of nutmeg blend with decadent pancake syrup, maple, crème brûlée and caramelized sugar.

  • Finish:

    Long finish: Light on oak but heavy on dessert. This drinks like pot de crème and crème brûlée all day long. I love it.

  • Overall:

    This is one of the more distinctive batches from Larceny in recent memory, but it's a total banger. At the cost of a touch of ethanol, drinkers are rewarded with all sorts of decadent dessert character, and this only reinforces that Larceny BP is a wheater I could possibly take with me when doomed for a desert island, someday.
