Flavor Profile Differences
Sweetness is where these two part ways.
- Larceny Small Batch: Heaven Hill's everyday wheater and the most affordable way into the style. Soft honey and butterscotch with almost no spice, and a texture that makes the low price hard to argue with.
- Yellowstone Select: A revived historic brand from Limestone Branch. Light and creamy, with toasted oak, vanilla and peach and a short, peppery finish. Part of the proceeds support Yellowstone National Park.
Which One Should You Choose?
- Go with Larceny Small Batch if you want an easy, sweet, genuinely inexpensive wheated bourbon at a lower price point.
- Go with Yellowstone Select if you want a light, creamy everyday sipper with a historic name.
Best enjoyed neat, rocks, cocktails (Larceny Small Batch); rocks, highball, old-fashioned (Yellowstone Select).
