Flavor Profile Differences
Proof and heat dominate the difference.
- Bardstown Bourbon Company Origin Series Wheated Bottled-in-Bond: A gentle, bakery-like wheater from Bardstown's own stills. Fresh bread and cream on the nose turn into baked peach and vanilla, with a soft, creamy texture and only a light pepper bite.
- Larceny Barrel Proof: The wheated recipe at full barrel strength, and a genuinely dense pour. Thick caramel and baked fruit carry the heat well, and it takes water more gracefully than most bottles at this proof.
Which One Should You Choose?
- Go with Bardstown Bourbon Company Origin Series Wheated Bottled-in-Bond if you want a soft, creamy, bakery-sweet wheater with bonded credentials at a lower price point and without hunting for it.
- Go with Larceny Barrel Proof if you want wheated sweetness with barrel-proof concentration, without the Weller price or hunt.
