Larceny Small Batch Bourbon is a smooth wheated bourbon inspired by the historic John E. Fitzgerald brand, a legendary Treasury agent who was rumored to have helped himself to the best barrels from government bonded warehouses. This tradition inspired the name “Larceny,” representing whiskey that tastes like it was meant to be stolen.
Crafted in small batches, Larceny uses wheat instead of rye as the secondary grain in its mash bill. This creates a softer, smoother flavor profile compared to traditional bourbons, with rich caramel sweetness and gentle baking spice.
Bottled at 92 proof and aged in charred oak barrels, Larceny delivers a balanced and approachable bourbon that works beautifully for sipping neat, on the rocks, or in classic bourbon cocktails. The 750ml bottle size is perfect for entertaining or stocking a well supplied home bar.
