Larceny is highly underated bourbon for the price very good. If you can find the barrel proof Larceny its up there with EC barrel proof if not better. As for Weller and Larceny both are wheated mashbills at 20% wheat. One is now highly overpriced most of the time because it is considered a baby Pappy Van Winkle but still none the less very much desirable.Thanks, @jerrob , I will try that... might be just what I need to drink it neat, or with just a couple drops of water, rather than a splash.
I can say that all three of the bourbons I've bought, I really liked once my palate "turned on". It was something of a revelation that first time I actually tasted the flavors instead of the alcohol.
Ok, I get it now!

The way some of this parallels red wines... it's really got me thinking about maybe getting a decanter.As Jerrob says above sometimes the middle of the bottle can really open it up as for the flavor profile.
Im jealous you found Weller at retail...Even though I got the Weller (allocated) at retail, about $25 including tax, I'm not gung-ho to get another, even at retail. Maybe if I figure out how to get back to that "magical" first tasting I had, lol!
Yowza!Im jealous you found Weller at retail...
The couple times ive purchased it was $60 or so....
I've been a fan of their 100 proof for a while now. Good stuff especially for the price. I'm about half way through a bottle of the 1920 and I must say IMO it's worth the difference.Couldn't bring this one in under the $50 mark. I spent $60 in fuel trying, lol...........take that environment.View attachment 133333
Lot of noise being made about this one and had to see for myself.
Ive seen them as low as 21.99 in some larger stores. Ive only had 2 bottles both 2012 bottled and both were very good. Sucks you had a crappy one hate to hear it.I have long advocated for Evan Williams Single Barrel as one of the best things out there for under $50, really under $30. Bought a new bottle last week and it's just not good. Such is life with single barrels.

Meijer Kokomo has a spot on the shelf for Blanton's, always empty when I'm there. But it's always on sale for $60!Good score this week Blantons at Msrp 70$. EH Taylor not so much I just really like it.....View attachment 134425
Meijer gets restocks on those unicorns once a month I hear at least the Blantons, EH Taylor, and Eagle Rare. Ive always been told the Avon location is the ticket.Meijer Kokomo has a spot on the shelf for Blanton's, always empty when I'm there. But it's always on sale for $60!
Must be just your Meijers, I'm at the McCordsville store twice per week and there's seldom anything new, and when there is, it isn't a unicorn by any stretch of the imagination.Meijer gets restocks on those unicorns once a month I hear at least the Blantons, EH Taylor, and Eagle Rare.

Ive never been to the Avon store just hear it always gets most of the good stuff for some reason. Im down south and check the Franklin Meijer a few times a month and every once in a while I Score!!!!Must be just your Meijers, I'm at the McCordsville store twice per week and there's seldom anything new, and when there is, it isn't a unicorn by any stretch of the imagination.
On the plus side, Meijers tends to have the best price on my essentials, E. Craig, Wild Turkey 101 and Gentleman Jack, so there's that perk that keeps my ****-n-moan meter outta the red.
Cheers.
