This is the second release of the new Larceny Barrel Proof series a barrel proof product which was released in May of 2020 Hence the Batch Code of “B” ( second release of the year) and 520 (Month 5, May ) and year (2020) the first batch we reviewed was the A120 at  123.2 proof, and this one weighs in at almost the same proof at 122.2 in this example. Standard proof for Larceny is 92 proof so you are getting ( roughly)  about 1/3 more alcohol and a more flavor concentrated profile than the standard. There are going to be 3 releases of this whiskey each year January, May, and September – so look out for them! The proofs will vary slightly and so will the taste to a limited degree. They will want to preserve the brand profile but that does not mean no variation to keep it interesting – just not a huge departure from batch to batch. Some other side note on this; Finally, someone has defined what they call a small batch – a previously very slippery and elastic term in the whiskey industry – in this case, 200 barrels or less. They also have specified that these barrels came from the high storage areas of the 4th, 5th, and 6th floors and range in age from 6 to 8 years, with the profile striving to be that of a 6-year-old bourbon, but a very mature 6-year-old.
