Overview
Larceny is Heaven Hill’s major wheated bourbon brand, known for replacing rye in the bourbon recipe with wheat. That wheated profile gives Larceny a softer, rounder character compared with many rye-recipe bourbons in the Heaven Hill portfolio.
The brand is best known for Larceny Small Batch and Larceny Barrel Proof. Together, those expressions give drinkers both an accessible everyday wheated bourbon and a stronger batch-based release for enthusiasts.
Brand History
Larceny takes inspiration from John E. Fitzgerald, a historic name connected to bonded warehouses and the Old Fitzgerald lineage. Heaven Hill uses the Larceny brand to tell a story around wheat-recipe bourbon, warehouse access, and the Fitzgerald name.
As wheated bourbon became more popular among collectors and everyday drinkers, Larceny grew into one of Heaven Hill’s most important modern bourbon brands. Larceny Barrel Proof further elevated the brand with higher-proof batch releases.
