Larceny Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Larceny Kentucky Straight Bourbon is made by the Old Fitzgerald Brand, named after John E. Fitzgerald who built a distillery on the banks of the Kentucky River in the 1870s and sold his spirits to rail lines, steamships, and private clubs. The Old Fitzgerald brand was registered in the 1880s but was sold to Julian P. “Pappy” Van Winkle during Prohibition, moving the production of Old Fitz to his distillery where it became the first great wheated bourbon. The Larceny was hand selected to have a taste profile of a six-year-old Kentucky Straight Bourbon, made with wheat as the secondary grain instead of the traditional rye, making it incredibly smooth. It has notes of fresh bread, toffee, butterscotch, caramel, and honey with a long, gently sweet and savory finish.

Distillery Information

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, the latest new label from the venerated distillery that produces Evan Williams and Elijah Craig Bourbons and Rittenhouse Rye. 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 such as Maker’s Mark and the Van Winkle line.
