With an agreeable price point which thankfully hasn’t gone crazy on the secondary (yet, gulp), decent availability all things considered, and an admired wheated Bourbon flavor profile – Larceny Barrel Proof has become a bit of a darling in the Bourbon buyer’s world.

Be on the lookout as the brand’s 1st BP release of 2024 is set to debut in January. Getting all technical, its code name “A124” is pretty easy to break down. The “A” represents it being the first release of 3 annual drops (others being “B” and “C”). The “1” noting the debuting month, and the “24” being the year it splashed.

ABOUT THE RELEASE: A124 is a Small Batch clocking in at 124.2 proof, is uncut, and is aged in the brand’s traditional 6 – 8 years per Heaven Hill. The mashbill being 68% corn, 20% wheat, 12 % malted barley.

PRICING & AVAILABILITY: Nationwide with SRP of $64.99. The 2nd and 3rd Larceny BP are suggested to hit May and September respectively.

Heaven Hill’s 1st Larceny Barrel Proof of 2023 at 125.8 Proof

Larceny

Hooray for Heaven Hill for busting up what I like to call “Dry News January” as the New Year typically starts out at a snails pace for new releases. Seeing this news sure put a smile on my face:) They’ve announced the first Larceny Barrel Proof of 2023, A123, at 125.8 proof. The “A123” is […]

Hooray for Heaven Hill for busting up what I like to call “Dry News January” as the New Year typically starts out at a snails pace for new releases. Seeing this news sure put a smile on my face:) They’ve announced the first Larceny Barrel Proof of 2023, A123, at 125.8 proof.

The “A123” is a code that is useful in keeping track of what Larceny BP you specifically have. There are 3 releases of LBP throughout the year. The letter, in this case “A”, represents the 1st Release of that specific year. The second figure being a number which is the month of the release, this one being January. The last 2 digits being the year of the release, this case being ’23. And Voila, A123.

Larceny is know for its wheated Bourbon status, wheated meaning the second leading grain (behind corn as it is Bourbon) is wheat. The mashbill provided by Heaven Hill is noted as 68% corn, 20% wheat, and 12% malted barely.

This batch is the second highest proof in all 10 batches of LBP, the very first going back to 2020.

This is a nation wide release with a MSRP of $59.99.
