    For someone who is really looked to for your opinion on bottles, you nailed it right on the head! Tasting is subjective and we need more guys like you saying that. Thanks!

    We raised bees for honey when I was in middle school. I definitely have a soft spot for it. Lots of good memories, especially at harvest time.

    I thought I heard this was supposed to be very spicy, perhaps that's the ECBP A124? I really enjoyed both the Larceny BP B523 & C923, which I found had a chocolate covered hazelnut note. Love honey too; so looking forward to grabbing the A124.

    U.S. your information as a guide not gospel. I’m into bold flavors hence why I’m a Knob creek single barrel fan and Larceny hits right there for me. I missed the A123 last year but got the last two and both are very good. I did get this bottle but haven’t opened it yet. Now I can’t wait to open this.. great job and thanks. Enjoy!!

    Just bought my first bottle of “regular” Larceny in a while.
    Haven’t cracked it yet but a serious question. What would be the REAL difference in it and your A124?
    By “real” I mean when I drink it it’ll be on ice with water. If it’s 124 proof I’m adding a little more water - I’m too old to be worried about what anyone else thinks.
