Larceny Barrel Proof = wow! (sopuli.xyz)

This is probably my newest, favorite bourbon. It really packs a punch with how spicy it is. Anyone else try this or have other recommendations?

Larceny is a wheated bourbon, which are usually on the sweeter side. I wonder if part of the spicyness is the proof?

Have you tried adding a splash of water to see if you get less of the spice? I haven't had it but going by mashbill and proof, Makers Mark Private Selections or Barrel Proof/101 might scratch a similar itch. If you want to go up in price (drastically, in some areas), W. L. Weller Antique 107 is another high proof wheated bourbon.

Yeah you can still taste the sweetness of the bourbon, it just has a little kick to it. I haven't tried adding a splash of water yet but I'll try that.

And thanks for the recommendations! I'll definitely keep an eye out for some of those Maker's Mark releases
