Continuing the tradition of the Old Fitzgerald brand, Larceny Bourbon is made with wheat instead of rye as the secondary grain, delivering a smooth taste that’s hard to resist. It is one of only a handful of Wheated Bourbons that exist, and has 25% more wheat than the leading competitor. The story of Larceny begins with John E. Fitzgerald, who was a bonded U.S. Treasury Agent who had access to the rickhouses, where Bourbon barrels were stored & aged. His position gave him the means and the opportunity to steal tastes of some of the best Bourbon. Using his keys, Fitzgerald would let himself into the rickhouses, thieve Bourbon from the best barrels, and take jugs of it home for himself. When it came time to dump the barrels, some were found to be unusually light-and exceptionally smooth. These barrels became known as ‘Fitzgerald Barrels.’ Even when the brand was later sold to famous whiskey man, Pappy Van Winkle, the Fitzgerald name-and his reputation-endured. Today, the spirit of John E. Fitzgerald lives on in our family of award-winning Wheated Bourbons: Larceny Small Batch, Larceny Barrel Proof, and Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond. View More
