Larceny is a brand of Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey produced by Heaven Hill Distillery. Its unique identity and flavor profile are built around a fascinating historical legend involving a 19th-century U.S. Treasury agent named John E. Fitzgerald. The story goes that Fitzgerald was a key-bearer to government-bonded whiskey warehouses and would "borrow" the best barrels for himself, committing an act of "larceny." The brand honors this tale of a connoisseur with a taste for exceptional spirits.

What truly sets Larceny apart is its mash bill. It is a "wheated bourbon," meaning it uses wheat as the secondary grain instead of the more common rye. This substitution results in a softer, smoother, and sweeter flavor profile, which is often described with notes of caramel, butterscotch, and fresh bread, along with a rich, buttery mouthfeel.

While the brand was launched relatively recently in 2012, it is a descendant of the historic Old Fitzgerald line of bourbons, which was a pioneer of the wheated bourbon style. Larceny is a widely available and highly regarded brand, offering both a standard small-batch expression and more sought-after, higher-proof versions that appeal to both new bourbon drinkers and seasoned enthusiasts.
