Description

Larceny Barrel Proof Batch 9 (C922) 6-8 Year is a Kentucky Straight Bourbon from Heaven Hill Distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky. This 2022 release closes the line’s third year and sets the all-time high proof in Larceny Barrel Proof history at 126.6 – a record that has held across every subsequent batch through 2025. The batch is bottled uncut and non chill-filtered at 126.6 proof.

Larceny Barrel Proof is Heaven Hill’s wheated barrel-proof bourbon – non-chill-filtered and bottled at full barrel strength, drawn from barrels aged six to eight years on Heaven Hill’s proprietary wheated mash bill of 68% corn, 20% wheat, and 12% malted barley. The Larceny line is the modern heir to Heaven Hill’s historic wheated recipe, known internally as O.F.D. (Old Fitzgerald Distillate) for John E. Fitzgerald’s Old Fitzgerald brand that Pappy Van Winkle owned before Heaven Hill took it over. Larceny Barrel Proof launched in January 2020 and is released three times per year in January, May, and September.

Heaven Hill’s published line profile across the series shows dark sepia color, a nose of toasted bread with maple and cinnamon, a palate of rich molasses coating the tongue with notes of fig and hazelnut, and a finish where the nuanced flavor fades into lingering warmth. Whisky Advocate Executive Editor David Fleming praised the line as one that “floats across the palate with stunning grace and subtlety, its wheated mashbill a delicate counterpoint to its formidable proof.”

Batch 9 (C922) holds the all-time highest proof in Larceny Barrel Proof history, a record that has held across every subsequent batch through 2025. It drinks well neat or over a single large cube.
