A thoughtfully selected Larceny Private Single Barrel highlights the elegance and weight that well-aged wheated bourbon can deliver. This Local Spirits Private Selection is bottled at barrel proof and non-chill filtered, allowing the softer wheat-forward mash bill to fully express itself without dilution. The result is a bourbon that leans into richness and texture rather than sharp spice—precise, mature, and deeply satisfying.
Produced by Heaven Hill Distillery, this barrel emphasizes balance and depth, showcasing how wheat softens the edges while extended aging builds complexity and structure.

Tasting Notes
Nose
Soft but expressive, opening with caramel cream, vanilla custard, and honeyed grain. Notes of baked pear, light toffee, and sweet oak follow, with subtle hints of cinnamon and toasted pastry providing depth without sharpness.
Palate
Rich and rounded, with a plush mouthfeel that defines well-made wheated bourbon. Flavors of caramelized sugar, vanilla bean, and milk chocolate lead, supported by gentle oak, baking spice, and a touch of almond. The proof delivers presence and warmth while remaining composed and approachable.
Finish
Medium-long and smooth, tapering into sweet oak, soft spice, and lingering vanilla. The wheat influence keeps the finish elegant rather than drying, encouraging another sip.
Best Way to Enjoy It
This barrel pick rewards attention.
Neat: Ideal for appreciating the full texture and layered sweetness.
With a splash of water: Opens additional vanilla and dessert-like notes while softening the proof.
On a large cube: Maintains balance while slowing the pour and enhancing creamier elements.
An excellent choice for extended sipping and for bourbon drinkers who appreciate nuance over aggression.
Why This Pick Stands Out
This Larceny Private Single Barrel was selected for its exceptional balance—showcasing the signature softness of wheat while maintaining structure, richness, and barrel influence. At barrel proof, it offers intensity without harshness, making it an ideal bridge between traditional bourbon drinkers and wheated-bourbon enthusiasts. A refined yet expressive pick that reflects disciplined selection and mature aging.
