Old Fitzgerald Bottled-In-Bond Decanter Series »

Larceny Barrel Proof

Larceny Barrel Proof offers a new opportunity to experience our acclaimed wheated Bourbon mashbill in its purest form: non-chill filtered and bottled at full barrel proof. Released three times per year in January, May, and September, each offering is a bold yet balanced special Small Batch Bourbon rich with depth and distinction. Much like Larceny Small Batch and Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond, Larceny Barrel Proof is a welcome reminder of just how good wheated Bourbons can be.

Proof: Varies by Release

Age: 6-8 Years Old

delicate counterpoint to its formidable proof.

Wheated Bourbon In
Its Purest Form

Larceny Barrel Proof offers Bourbon fans an exciting opportunity to experience Heaven Hill's Wheated
Bourbon mashbill in much the same way as our Master Distiller and expert tasting team sample it in
the rickhouse. Bottled at full barrel strength, it showcases a truly bold character, richness, and depth
of flavor from the years of interaction with the barrel's charred and caramelized oak sugars.

Wheated Bourbons have gained popularity among connoisseurs in recent years. Heaven Hill's
proprietary mashbill has twice as much wheat as other distilleries, producing even more of those soft
and round flavors beloved in the style. The higher percentage of wheat is apparent in Whisky Advocate's
"Whisky of the Year" review, which notes "it begins with a flurry of sweet bakery aromas: honey bun,
angel food cake, and apple pie à la mode."

... a treat worth waiting for.

Whisky Advocate

The Larceny line of Bourbon is the modern heir of our historic wheated mashbill, known
behind-the-scenes at our distillery as "O.F.D." or Old Fitzgerald Distillate. The recipe bears
the name of Bourbon legend John E. Fitzgerald and his vaunted Old Fitzgerald brand, which
was sold to famous whiskey man Pappy Van Winkle before being produced by Heaven Hill.
Today the Fitzgerald name—and its reputation—endures.

Quality and Craft at Every
Step of the Process

Of course, the value of such bold American Whiskeys is not simply a higher proof, but access to even
more of the character imparted by the barrels as they age in our Kentucky rickhouses. To create an
award-winning flavor profile, we leverage our vast diversity of rickhouses to find the exact flavors
from different barrels that can be mingled for the perfect taste profile.

Barrels age much differently based on where they are placed in the rickhouse, as well as the
temperature and humidity fluctuations they undergo as the seasons change. It’s the job of our Master
Distiller and expert tasters to know where the right barrels are aging, and then combine them together
to create the perfect amount of smoothness and complexity to complement the higher proof.
