Larceny Small Batch Bourbon. This small-batch Bourbon uses wheat in place of rye to create a soft, rounded character. The mild creme brulee aroma leads into sarsaparilla and creamy caramel flavors. At 92 proof, it’s a wonder that the alcohol feels so moderate, but it makes its presence known in the cinnamon-firework finish. Attractive bottle design with clever keyhole label. Shop Now >
