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!
Agreed
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.
Loved it from to first pour…
Started looking for backup right away
Bought a bottle couple days ago. Excited to tryout! Myv1st Larceny barrel proof
I was fortunate to pick up five bottles last year. Was super impressed with all three releases. Liking the A124 as well.
Now I’m glad I got a bottle for $71. Me personally I like the dark honey that is sold at Sam’s Club. Nice subtle sweetness I put it on toast instead of maple syrup.
Fred's shirt has swag. Enjoying B123 and A124.
Bought a Larceny A124 in February based on an SLB Drinks review. Tasted so good I bought 3 more (before they sell out). Honey is good. BoomerPilot
I bought one then went back for another four.
I actually got this for $54. Well below msrp.
Me too. Strong Like Bull.
@@alexgyorko6464 wanna sell any?
I bought one, then forgot I bought it, saw it in another store and bought another. Glad I did now!
I don’t get the folks who want the same flavor profile with every release… there’s plenty of those out there. I want to get something new with every release
Lookin' good Fred! I got A123 and 2 B523, never found a C923. The B523 are sitting on the shelf in several local shops. Will keep an eye out for A124.
As always,A real class act..Been a good eight yrs since I first saw your podcasts.
Got me through that lousy lockdown. I always look forward to next podcast. Iwas wondering what happened to the hidden barn?
Really enjoyed this one too. HH is going a great job with Larceny.
I love saving some if each bottle for and infinity bottle of Larceny BP. I even went ahead and created a bottle of 1/3 of each 2023 release. Holy Hell, it's good.
I like my honey raw and local.... Also, loved the C922 and was able to get A123 and C923 last year and they were the best pickups of the year for me. Still think the C922 was slightly better, tried them blind twice and it came out on top both times.
I liked the Larceny C923 so will to look for this. I like the real honey and on warm cornbread!
Bought one because of your honey notes and I agree completely. It’s a delicious bottle, thank you for the review.
Crazy thing is I just saw a few sitting on a shelf yesterday and didn’t get it. Being a Larceny barrel proof fan, I’ll definitely pick it up tomorrow.
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.
Definitely one of my favorites!
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!!
I'll have to snag one of these....
The Larceny BP’s have just been great! 922, 923, 124 are tops in my book!
Favorite honey is probably hot honey or clover honey. Great review.
Bradshaw spun honey is awesome! I also like the cayenne infused honey:)
Compared it blind to C923 and preferred the A124!! Got two bottles lol Heaven Hill is my favorite
I over looked this the other day. Looks like I’m headed back to the store 😊
I love raw honey. Usually medium to light in color. Some darker honey like buckwheat gets a bit overwhelming.
Who doesn’t love honey?? This is definitely a great pour. Actually sitting down after a long day at working sipping on this now.
Its a month later now and I still love honey, especially Dragons Milk Origin Honey.
It’s fantastic! Grabbed a backup or two 😂
So glad to get this one for $55. Can't wait to try it.
I agree with you, it's fantastic. I get a lot of chocolate and molasses. I almost get a Reese's cup vibe from it.
When this first came out, I tried it and went back to get 3 more backups.
Yes! Love when you go off on Vodka.
I love honey, especially honey comb…..delicious!
Got one for $57 in Gatlinburg of all places and it is absolutely worth every penny
Lmao that whisper, "You know who you are..."
Hah, I just bought a bottle at my local liquor store on the off-chance that it may be as good as last year. Thanks for the review!
Really interesting review… I felt that this A124 expression of LBP fell short of all 3 of last year’s offerings. To each their own I suppose!
Agreed
I like Real Honey w/Comb
I got a bottle from my kids as a birthday gift. I'm really enjoying it. I'm a Larceny fan boy anyway🤣🥃❤️🥃
I'm newly on my bourbon journey and larceny really grabbed me on my first glass over a few of the others. Just picked up the A124 and excited to try it. I might be a larceny fan boy soon!
Yeah, I like this one a lot. Really fun butterscotchy and spicy bourbon.
Tupelo Honey is my jam
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.
I LOL’d the price range. What a travesty of a system we have for spirits. This is a $99 (+20% + $3) bottle in WA
Yikes
55 bucks at Sam's Club and 65 elsewhere. C923 is still around for 65 as well.
WW2007, 20% is absolutely ridiculous. Taxation is one thing, excessive taxation like this is nuts.
@@tracybrewer9921paid the same at my local Costco outside STL, MO
Well got to pay for all the needles and narcan somehow.
I am a bee keeper so I do happen to like honey, I prefer the flavor in whiskey to be like the and thin!
Last one I had was B523 didn’t care for it. The others have all been good
It is a bourbon taste explosion!!!!!!!!!!!!
Honey. Organic. Love it all the time. Beware of some honey sold in stores, nothing more than high fructose corn syrup (☠️) laced with bee juice.
Picked up a bottle of this at Costco. Haven't cracked it yet. Thanks for the review! Edit: I like my honey thick and rich!
Same here! $55 seemed like a steal for a BP
Same. They even had Buffalo Trace in stock which is rare where I am. Great $80 worth of juice in the 2 bottles.
Another great video
Confectionery honey
😂
So a little oak is good.
I hate fake, syrupy, sweet honey in whiskey. But I love when whiskey is finished in honey barrels, or infused with real honey.
Chattanooga Whiskey Honey Infused experimental series (only 4 barrels) is UNMATCHED.
Fred I will always trust your palate
Gotta go out and grab me one of those 👍
Why are each batches different? Mash bills or just seasonal influence?
Mash bill is always the same...age is different, proof is different, yes seasonal influence is different, location in warehouse can be different, raw materials themselves (corn, wheat, malted barley, yeast, water) can be slightly different, quality of barrels can be different...I'm sure I'm missing a few.
@@johng5710 thanks I forgot about those other variables. 😂
Another solid pour by Larceny
Yup.
Love honey anyway but loose! As Clint would say!
I like honey alot.
I love honey! Origin Honey
Got mine for 55 bucks today at Costco
Nice
Raw & unfiltered Louisiana honey.
Just picked up 2 bottles at $61.99 per.
I have a back up already only 60 dollars in LA
Love me some thick wild honey. A PB, Banana, and Honey sandwich on wheat bread. If that was in a bourbon...
Mikes Hot Honey is amazing!
A124 is better than any from last year so I am off to get a backup or 2
I better hurry and try mine before they go away just in case I need backups.
Sub par in my opinion, I mean it's still good but not the best LBP ive had in a while. Didn't get any honey I this one... More savory and oaky than anything else...was expecting better, but it seems Heaven Hill starts the patches off slow in the beginning of the year!
raw honey is the best
Winnie The Pooh Type Honey Here !
Manuka honey
No drop 💧 ( or 2) of water? Really?
A lot of snickerdoodle
Well crap. Glad I got a bottle before this goes Henry McKenna.
Larceny is rot gut. I tried the C series and the regular larceny yesterday and compared to four roses, JTS brown, woodford reserve and others larceny is the bottom of my list.
When are you gonna do the batch 3 bowman cask strength review. You should do a triple header eh Taylor batch 12 and 2023 George t stagg vs bowman batch 3 cask. They are all similar with proofs I’d like to hear your thoughts. Love your reviews and vodka sucks.
If you watch how often he pops up his eyebrows. You can tell if he likes something or not.
Sorry but these bottles are way too expensive and aren't that unique.
I pay maybe $55-65 on larceny bp releases. I think for the money its one of the best things out there. Better than any shiddy store pick
@@huntermcdougal5013 It's now $70-$80.
What findable wheated do you recommend over it in the $50-$60 range?
@@mattschmitt9924 You can find regular Larceny for $20-$30, Weller(hehehe), a time machine to 2022 when Larceny BP were $54.99. If you want CS/BP, Maker's Mark/46. Rebel is basically Larceny and you can find single barrel story picks for under $60.
