You guys are getting the mash bill mixed up on the Larceny. It's 68% corn, 20% wheat, and 12% malted barley. If it were 68% wheat, they wouldn't be able to call it bourbon.

I was lucky enough to get both of these. They are both really impressive. I like the nose on the EC better, but the palate of the Larceny. I absolutely get the drying effect with the EC. The EC is much hotter for me. A lot more pepper. The Larceny is just sweet and rich. I was surprised to like the Larceny better, since in their regular small batch releases, I love Elijah Craig but don't care for Larceny at all.

For some reason, the big box stores here in Central California are selling Elijah Craig for $80. Local liquor stores are charging as much as $100. The Larceny also appears to be $10-$20 more than MSRP. I would love to see you guys look at some small Distilleries, such as New Riff. Unfortunately, impossible to get in California, however, the bottle that was gifted to me from 0:08 Kentucky was absolutely out of this world.

The LBPs are friggen delicious but the ECBPs have all the flavor of the Larcey wheaters but also have wry spice that kicks them up to the next level - complexity wise. So good, especially at that price point. Great review guys!

Great review as always! I just picked-up the EC C922 124.8 proof and the Larceny B522 123.8 proof and love them both! Yet, If I must choose, I put the EC in 1st place for my taste. And I love a good Wheater! In my case it's not a truly fair comparison, as the EC C922 is said to be the sweetest of the 3 EC 2022 releases. Release aside, the two are head and shoulders above their normal everyday release options. I have to agree with Trenton's point about the viscosity - the EC blowing the Larceny out of the water. I'll look for your review of the C922 releases!

I got the EC A123 and find it superior to the C922 in smoothness and overall start-to-finish enjoyment. Still looking for Larceny A123 but got a hold of the A122 and found this A release even better than the C release; and the C totally blew the B out of the water (2022)! So based on your reviews, the last two A releases have been winners. And though I see where Trenton is coming from comparing the two (EC BP vs L BP), my taste more closely aligns with Kurt. Thank you again for these detailed and honest reviews!
