Larceny Barrel Proof Batch B524
62.7% ABV (125.4 proof) | 750mL | Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, 6–8 years | Uncut & non-chill filtered — Larceny Barrel Proof Batch B524 is Heaven Hill Distillery's uncut, full-barrel-proof expression of the wheated mash bill behind Larceny Small Batch and the Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond line. Released in May 2024 — the second of three 2024 releases, and the 14th batch in the series since its January 2020 debut — B524 is bottled at 125.4 proof, non-chill filtered, from a blend of 6- to 8-year-old barrels.
The batch decoder is straightforward: the first letter is the release order (A, B, or C), the middle number is the release month (January, May, September), and the last two digits are the year — so B524 means second release, May, 2024. The wheated mash bill (68% corn, 20% wheat, 12% malted barley) gives Larceny Barrel Proof its signature character: Heaven Hill describes the line as "a bold yet balanced special Small Batch Bourbon rich with depth and distinction," and taking that mash bill at full barrel proof is the purest way to experience it. Distilled by Heaven Hill in Bardstown, Kentucky — available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor in San Diego, CA.
Tasting notes
Heaven Hill publishes no official per-batch tasting notes. Expect the Larceny Barrel Proof house style at cask strength: the wheated mash bill brings a soft, sweet grain character that stands up to full proof — caramel, warm oak, and spice from 6–8 years in new charred oak. Individual barrels vary by batch; this bottle's exact profile is this batch's alone.
