Color: Medium Amber Smell: Toasted marshmallow; instant hot cocoa; bread dough. An excellent aroma. Taste: (With an ice cube) The initial taste is syrupy sweet. The alcohol strength is immediately apparent, providing a significant warm sensation. Charred oak and a spicy burst that tingles the tongue follow. Swirling the liquid reveals a fleeting hint of "citrus." There's a lot happening, and I'm trying to process it all on this first try. Later pours show similar sweetness and spice, with some of the "bread dough" from the smell carrying over to the taste. Aftertaste: Lingering, primarily featuring charred oak barrel and baking spices... and just a touch of fruit. Slightly drying. Concluding Thoughts: Rating these yearly releases is challenging due to comparisons with prior versions. I rarely keep them long enough to directly contrast. Reviewing my past Larceny ratings, every batch I've tried has received at least 3.75 stars. This A125 is a solid batch on its own, earning 4.0 stars. It's not especially distinctive, but it's a strong drink with the expected character for 125 Proof.
