Heaven Hill WHEATED BOURBON | Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond Decanter Series vs Larceny BLIND REVIEW

GLASS ONE: Old Fitzgerald 14 Year Bottled-in-Bond, 100 proof, $130-165 retail price ($400+ secondary pricing)
GLASS TWO: Larceny (Single Barrel Store Pick), 92 proof, $30 retail price
*****************************************************************
We entered this pairing into our blind sample pool because they're the same mashbill (recipe)--Old Fitzgerald 14 being nearly twice the age and five times the retail price--to evaluate how they differ when we didn't know what we were tasting.
Old Fitzgerald's decanter series is released twice annually (spring and fall) and ages differ between 8-16 years. It is heavily allocated and highly sought after in most markets. Larceny is a readily available product normally released in large batches, however the bottle we tasted here is a single barrel selection by a store local to our market. Check your local liquor stores and inquire about "store picks" if you don't see them in your local market.

Nose + Flavor + Experience comprise Tasting Score.
We then add Tasting + Retail + Consumer Scores together to determine our overall Real World Score.

" Hot diggity dog". Great review, like and subscribed. Think I'll binge watch this afternoon. Keep up the GREAT work!

[@stuffandwhiskey]

Thanks so much Bob!

I've also heard good things about the Old Fitz 8 year spring 2021 release but haven't seen one. Been hoping to get my hands on that for the juice of course, but also because the decanter would be a perfect infinity bottle.

[@stuffandwhiskey]

We hear ya. As much praise as it’s gotten, the thought to head to Heaven Hill has popped up. Once this OF14 is gone it’ll be on decanter duty.

[@Haystack777lyle]

Well done. Cheers.

[@stuffandwhiskey]

Cheers and thanks for watching Lyle!

[@truthsproofsfirewaterrevie8853]

Fun comparison but that Old Fitz is so damn good.

[@stuffandwhiskey]

It’s something special to be sure! Thanks so much for watching!

[@bo_mccroskey]

I want a bottle of Old Fitz really bad, but I'm meh overall on wheaters, especially Larceny.

[@stuffandwhiskey]

Yeah if wheaters aren’t your thing then there’s really no reason to bother unless an opportunity easily presents itself to snag one (which lets be honest-it almost never does). Certainly a lot of luck involved in this one landing in our lap.

[@thesoozeTJ]

Who did the Larceny pick?

[@stuffandwhiskey]

Sam and the crew at Nashville Daily Spirits

[@thesoozeTJ]

Gotcha. I’ve got a Red Larceny pick that I don’t love. Sort of weak and lackluster

[@stuffandwhiskey]

@@thesoozeTJ haven’t had that RED pick but have heard it’s nothing to write home about. So it goes with picks sometimes, as RED usually does a good job with picks.

@@stuffandwhiskeyI wish I knew abou those guys this last weekend. I will define keep them in mind next time I am in town. Love y’all content BTW
