About this bottle
A cask strength bourbon from Kentucky, United States from John E. Fitzgerald Larceny, John E. Fitzgerald Larceny Barrel Proof Batch A120 Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is part of the Spirit Hives whiskey selection. It is bottled at 61.6% ABV, in a 750 ml bottle. Producer tasting notes — on the nose: A strong, yet tempered aroma of brown sugar, molasses, Cracker Jack, toasted oak, and walnut. Hints of orange, apple, and tobacco leaf gently mix in providing contrast and complexity. It’s quite enjoyable, but not shockingly unique. Its nose is what you’d expect from a barrel proof Larceny, which is exactly what this it needs to be; on the palate: A rush of sweet and bold flavors greets you, as gooey-sweet caramel, rich vanilla, brown sugar, mild cinnamon, and heavy oak provide the backbone of this bourbon; finish: Some bitterness develops on the finish that’s amplified by its ramp up of heat. Heavy oak, vanilla, and dark chocolate dominate the medium-length finish that does little to enhance the bourbon. While flavorful, it’s a straightforward affair that’s a bit too bold at times and, as a result, forgoes the delightfulness of the palate.
