Larceny Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

From Kentucky’s wheated-bourbon tradition comes Larceny Small Batch, a soft, rounded straight bourbon crafted by Heaven Hill. Selected from limited barrel dumps to a six-year taste profile and bottled at 46% ABV, it marries easy richness with subtle spice. Beautifully balanced and universally appealing, it’s a refined everyday pour and a thoughtful, premium gift that looks as good as it tastes.

Tasting Notes & Experience

Fresh bread, toffee and a touch of butterscotch open into buttery caramel and honey. The palate is silky, with gentle baking spice lifting warm oak and a hint of stone fruit. Sweetness stays measured as savoury grain tones appear, leading to a long, quietly moreish finish where soft spice, toasted cereal and a trace of vanilla linger in elegant balance.

Cocktail Pairings

Larceny’s wheated softness and caramel-honey core elevate a classic Old Fashioned with orange oils and a dash of aromatic bitters. Stir into a Manhattan for plush balance against sweet vermouth, or shake a Whiskey Sour where bright citrus frames its warmth. A Gold Rush adds silken depth with honey, a Mint Julep turns refreshingly luxe over crushed ice, and a highball with chilled soda and lemon twist is effortless elegance.

Craftsmanship & Story

Inspired by the Old Fitzgerald lineage, Larceny continues Heaven Hill’s wheated style—using wheat in place of rye for a softer, rounder character. True to small-batch ethos, it’s produced from dumps of 200 barrels or fewer, selected from open rickhouses to express an inviting, consistent house style. The result is an approachable yet pedigreed bourbon that nods to heritage while pouring with modern polish.

Special Features

Wheated mash bill for velvet texture; 46% ABV for flavour clarity; small-batch selection for harmony of caramel, honeyed grain and gentle spice. Its balanced sweetness and restrained oak make it versatile—graceful neat, forgiving with water, and superb in classic cocktails. A handsome presentation and crowd-pleasing profile ensure it shines as a premium gift.
