Larceny is the heir to the wheated bourbons that make up the historic old fitzgerald franchise that heaven hill acquired in 1999. In fact it is the somewhat controversial history of john e. Fitzgerald and his eponymous bourbon brand that provides the story and name to larceny bourbon. Larceny bourbon continues the old fitzgerald tradition of using wheat in place of rye as the third or small grain in the whiskey’s grain recipe or mashbill as it is commonly known. The use of winter wheat replaces the spicier fruitier flavor notes that rye provides with a softer rounder character that is the hallmark of old fitzgerald and other wheated bourbons. Larceny is a true small batch bourbon produced from dumps of 100 or fewer barrels that have been selected from heaven hill’s open rick warehouses in nelson county kentucky.
