Larceny TopFlight Series S3B24 is a seven-year-old, single barrel wheated Kentucky straight bourbon from Heaven Hill, bottled at barrel proof, 123.2 proof (61.6% ABV).
Selected for the TopFlight Series (Series 3, Barrel 24), it shows extended ageing beyond the standard Larceny small batch release, presenting Heaven Hill's famous wheated recipe at full barrel strength. Wheat in place of rye as the secondary grain gives Larceny its soft, rounded character.
Rich and smooth, it delivers amplified pastry notes and a rounded texture, with the depth of seven years in new charred oak.
A one-of-a-kind barrel at full strength, it makes a fine gift for wheated bourbon fans.
Sip it neat, then add a few drops of water.
Bourbon must be made in the United States from a mash of at least 51% corn and aged in new charred oak containers, and straight bourbon must be aged at least two years. Those rules give bourbon its characteristic sweetness, with caramel and vanilla drawn from the charred barrels.
Kentucky straight bourbon must be made in Kentucky from a mash of at least 51% corn, aged at least two years in new charred oak and bottled with nothing added but water.
Single barrel bourbon is drawn from one barrel only and never blended, so its flavour reflects that barrel's place in the warehouse and its years in wood.
Barrel proof means the bourbon goes into the bottle at the strength it came out of the barrel; a few drops of water open up further layers.
Larceny takes its name from the story of John E. Fitzgerald, a nineteenth-century treasury agent said to have helped himself to the best barrels in the warehouse.
