It’s good. Very good. It’s $60-80 good. We really need to stop talking about the absolute top dollar we’d pay. Plants too many seeds in too many different places.
So sick of how the market is, too many dipsh*ts chasing anything any 'tuber' says is good. Drives prices up while those same morons couldn't pick good whiskey out of a blind with Fireball
For me I like hearing top dollar Jason C would pay because he’s got the experience with lots of Bourbons. It gives me an idea of what he would pay then I reconcile it with what price I find and what I want to pay. For me I wouldn’t pay what Jason said it’s worth.
I finally found this at a sleeper store in my area and snapped up three bottles. It is really ridiculous. I couldn't believe it. it drinks like a $250 bottle in my opinion. I really hope they can keep it up with their future releases.
Picked this up on the same day as finding the Maker's BRTs. (All at retail) and it was a slap in the face good punchy bourbon. Stomped the BRTs. Went back to it a month later and the edges have softened just a bit to make it more approachable. Great stuff. Happy Holidays Jason!
I really enjoy your videos. When C922 hits the shelf in my state, it sells out quickly. Fortunately, I picked up a bottle a few weeks ago, as it immediately resonated well with my palate. If I can find it again, I will pick up another bottle or two.
It’s such a relief to hear you say availability is “wonky” as so many infer that Heaven Hill products are readily available. I see just a hand full of the Larceny or EC barrel proofs a year where I live.
I thought this was the best of the 22s as a fresh crack but I blinded them a few days ago and had B522 on top. I think that one opened up beautifully as I had A122 > B522 also as fresh cracks. Same thing happened with the 22 ECBPs for me. Put both lines as B>C>A in blinds
I've been appreciating Larceny BP over the 3 batches...each iteration seems to get better and better. I've been looking for the c921 for three months...l still have hope it will get out to the west coast...Heaven Hill!
Just picked up a bottle of A123 for 58 (before tax, somehow. In MD) and I compared it to a B522 (both opened at the same time, today (01/23/23) and wow. I'm terrible at spotting tastes and such. But the b522 was WAY smoother on the neck pour (cracked and poured with no rest), it's almost like it had time to rest. No fire whatsoever. The a123 neck pour packed a punch and was very hot, but much sweeter and less oakey. After about 5-10 minutes, the A123 far surpassed the B522. Leveled out in smoothness and fire, while being a couple percent higher, and had more sweetness and less oak (or wood) flavor. Over all I'd say the A123 was better, without contest. I need to find a C922 bottle so I can try this. My local store probably has it in the back. He still had b522 in the shelves, so based off how he stocks things he's still got his supply in the back. Anyways, great video! EDIT: And yes, I'm blasted off of comparing these whiskeys today lol
Larceny barrel proof has always been a sleeper (living in the shadow of its Elijah Craig BP sibling). I’ve been a loyal fan of the Larceny BP for a couple years now, and I honestly never saw much of a difference between the different batches (maybe because I add water and orange peel:), so I’m looking forward to finding the C922 (only B-batch still on the shelves around here). I hope people don’t buy into the hype and snap it up to the point I have to pay 2x to order a bottle from Caskers! UPDATE: Finally showed up in one of my local liquor stores today. I was skeptical of all the hype, but after trying it, it's totally worth the hype. I'm shocked. I'm tempted to go back and grab one of the two remaining bottles that I tucked away behind the A122 bottles:).
I’m glad I bought this when I had the chance. The only place that had it in town was a place I almost never go because they jack up prices to secondary levels (like $100 for regular Eagle Rare and $600 for regular Stagg). This, like other LBPs before it, was $100. Although I’m sure after C922’s accolades they’re going to start charging $150+ for all future batches. Sad reality. That said, I’m happy I bought this, even at $100. Was my only option in town when it came out, and it already is easily in the top 5 of my collection, and easily the best finish.
Great review- agree that this is best Larceny to date! I felt that 3 of last 4 have shown significant improvement (A122 was just ok). C921 & B522 were very nice bourbons but this C-922 took it to another level. Hope they keep it going! Merry Christmas!
@@PinkDan12345 my brother also liked the A-122 most - that is great thing about different pallets- I still thought it was a solid whiskey -just enjoyed C-922 more.
This bottle is fantastic. I heard from a buddy of mine who went on a Heaven Hill tour that these releases are more like 9-10 years old at this point, hoping one day to share that 12-year age statement that ECBP has
In 2023 I would like to see some store picks on Larceny barrel proofs. Could take it to even a higher level. It’s good as it is no doubt. Thanks J.C. For the review!
Just cracked this one. I agree this was a really good batch. I will have to blind this with B522 to see which one I prefer but great review as always buddy
Just picked up a bottle of C922 last night. I’m looking forward to trying it after your review Jason. I have the C921 and B522. The B522 is pretty good. If you have the ECBP C922, I recommend you blending it with the LBP B522 (1:1 Blend). That’s a really tasty combination 👍🏾.
I got a bottle of C922 for $52! I only got one because they only had one, but I found a place that has them for $60 still. Do I get another one to bring back down to Texas with me where they go for about $100 or more?
I walked into one of the larger wine and liquor stores a couple weeks ago in early Dec and they were stocking 2 cases of ECBP C922. Just out of the blue. Hope they have some of this soon.
Honest Question...I love Weller SR, higher proof Makers, ECBP, and 1792...but could not STAND Larceny Small Batch. Would I like this bottle? I can get one for 80 I am considering it.
Sadly this is not available in my market. However, I appreciate your thoughts and if it every shows up, I will buy without hesitation. Merry Christmas to you and yours!
I love Larceny BP's I prefer A122 it's got a pancake and maple syrup thing the C922 is hotter it has a nuttier profile more oak. To me these are very good they are not ultra complex but delicious
Couldn't find the C922 but I did just pick up the A123 Larceny 125.8 barrel proof for $61.99. Honestly I love it, strange it reminds me of the Jack Daniel's SBBP, but I've heard the complaints of some of these batches. Maybe my untrained palate doesn't register bad whiskey? Bottom line I'm enjoying it now so at least I finally acquired a bottle. I'll keep searching for the better batch!
There are 3 releases each year. A,B and C. The the first digit that follows the letter is the month of release and the last 2 numbers are the year. I'm this case...C922...the third release of the year from September of 2022.
I also don't normally care for Larceny, but recently bought the B522 after watching some reviews and its pretty good. How would you compare the C922 to that?
I don’t know what is inside this WT101 bottle it is not wild turkey 101 damn believe me its 6-8yrs old can’t believe it tastes much older than it states. Nutmeg, brown sugar, oak, sweet, medium butter, silky smooth and so enjoyable. WT101 at $20ish tastes like $40+ bourbon. Easily my top10 bourbon all year . Sorry i know it is not about larceny but WT101 😜
I've been searching for this darn release, but can't find it yet. I don't think it's shown up in MN. It's so random when these things show up on the shelves. I had a pour of Larceny barrel proof at the distillery that was 128+ proof and it was fantastic so it got me excited to find this C922. Oh yeah... one other thing they mentioned at the distillery was that they're trying to get Larceny barrel proof to have a 12yr age statement like ECBP. Apparently they just haven't quite been able to get there yet because of the demand for regular Larceny. They keep having to use more barrels to make the regular stuff that they don't have enough 12yr old barrels yet to age state Larceny BP.
My experience with 'Wheaters" is almost zero. I never really enjoyed Maker's Mark but I eventually want to try Old Elk and a few others to expand my palate. Coincidentally I just cracked open a Willett Pot Still Reserve that was a gift. Honestly at 94 proof it seemed hotter but my initial tasting results were that it's pretty enjoyable. Now my curiosity is lit to try some other 3 or 4 grain whiskeys with wheat. Merry Christmas Jason!!!
I sent a friend to the liquor store because a local store posted an ig story with 1 bottle of LBP. I was hoping it was B922 but it was C and I’m so glad I got it! Great taste profile with a solid finish
All LBP have been lackluster for me until this one. C922 tastes like they watered down a boring batch like A122 with something interesting like Old Fitzgerald 8.
It's better,...but seeing how most of their barrel proofs are bad it doesn't make it great. It's still average. I would NOT pay over $80. That's just me though 😁
Yeah it's easily the best one. Like I said. It's not the best I've had but these are so hit and miss, I feel like when you find one like this , you have to jump on it. Someone said there is older stuff in this one. Not sure how accurate that is.

100% agreed
That’s how all the prices these jacks keep talking “should be” became to be. Just stupid…..
So sick of how the market is, too many dipsh*ts chasing anything any 'tuber' says is good. Drives prices up while those same morons couldn't pick good whiskey out of a blind with Fireball
I just paid $89 better be good

I bought 3 bottles.. and have told all my friends about it.. at 60 bucks C922 is fucking GOLD
Since I just got into whiskey and bourbon this year, I’ve only got B522 and C922. Really love the C922. Great review
I finally found this at a sleeper store in my area and snapped up three bottles. It is really ridiculous. I couldn't believe it. it drinks like a $250 bottle in my opinion. I really hope they can keep it up with their future releases.

I had to come back and review this video. I just picked up a bottle for $99 today. The store had ten on the shelf... may have to get another.
Found on the shelves in Aug 2024, 3 bottles LBP C922 $70. (15) B523. (5) ECBP A123 (4) B522. (1) B521. $76-81. All in same area.
I thought this was the best of the 22s as a fresh crack but I blinded them a few days ago and had B522 on top. I think that one opened up beautifully as I had A122 > B522 also as fresh cracks. Same thing happened with the 22 ECBPs for me. Put both lines as B>C>A in blinds
I love the B522, I'm ready for the C922!! Haven't seen it yet.
As usual, great review. I love Larceny. I'm going looking for this tomorrow....Merry Christmas!

I just had this bottle and four roses single barrel for the first time today and larceny wins.
Found two bottles of this yesterday. It is very good. Especially for $59 here in VA.
Jason, you make me so happy that I just scored one of these. Tonight I taste and I can't wait.

Just saw a few of these go at auction of 160 and 180! Unbelievable
Found a bottle just yesterday at MSRP. It was behind some other less desirable batches.
I just revisited B522 last night. It was better then the day I opened it but still not my go to. 😮
Great review- agree that this is best Larceny to date! I felt that 3 of last 4 have shown significant improvement (A122 was just ok). C921 & B522 were very nice bourbons but this C-922 took it to another level. Hope they keep it going!

Yes. We were told that as well when we took our tour.
In 2023 I would like to see some store picks on Larceny barrel proofs.
Could take it to even a higher level.
It’s good as it is no doubt.
Thanks J.C. For the review!
I couldn't agree more! Definitely in my Top 5! Another great review Jason 🥃 Cheers bud!
I got one of these yesterday in Brooklyn for 100$ solid buy
Just cracked this one. I agree this was a really good batch. I will have to blind this with B522 to see which one I prefer but great review as always buddy
Another great review from Jason, solid, honest and accurate reviews EVERY time, Merry Christmas buddy.
Waiting for this one, not seen yet, hope I didnt miss it, tx for review, gonna get 2 😂 merry xmas 🎄
Just picked up a bottle of C922 last night. I’m looking forward to trying it after your review Jason. I have the C921 and B522. The B522 is pretty good. If you have the ECBP C922, I recommend you blending it with the LBP B522 (1:1 Blend). That’s a really tasty combination 👍🏾.
Is the blend better than each individual component?
Just picked up a bottle and I tell you what. That’s some good drinking 🥃
Happy Holidays!!!
Got one for 60 yesterday. Ive always preferred ecbp so we will see how it stacks up
What did you think?
I drank this and ECBP B520 back to back and I had to do a double take to make sure I grabbed the right bottle. This is absolutely incredible.
Just picked up one today for $60. After trying it I think I’ll go back to the store tomorrow and grab a back up
Sound nice. And Larceny at that. Hunt is on. Cheers and Merry Christmas!
Great video!! I like the did you know, where we can learn about the history of what you are drinking. Merry Christmas everyone!!
I got a bottle of C922 for $52! I only got one because they only had one, but I found a place that has them for $60 still. Do I get another one to bring back down to Texas with me where they go for about $100 or more?
Hands down one of my favs this year. So freaking good
I walked into one of the larger wine and liquor stores a couple weeks ago in early Dec and they were stocking 2 cases of ECBP C922. Just out of the blue. Hope they have some of this soon.
Love it, the B has barely hit Colorado. Looking forward to both.
Honest Question...I love Weller SR, higher proof Makers, ECBP, and 1792...but could not STAND Larceny Small Batch. Would I like this bottle? I can get one for 80 I am considering it.
Just grabbed one because of this video!
Hey Jason, did you do a best of the year list?? Would love to see your top 25. Happy Holidays to you and yours...
Hmmmm...I just picked up the A123...gonna crack it for new years!
Had all 3 this year, Cbatch was my favorite. Caught it for $60, it was a steal. Where can I get that Turkey hat, too hard?!?!?
Dang it Jason Shhh. Love this batch and especially for price it's great. Happy Holidays
Sadly this is not available in my market. However, I appreciate your thoughts and if it every shows up, I will buy without hesitation. Merry Christmas to you and yours!
I purchased 9 of them...

Nice review, J. I have the B and think it's fantastic. I'll hunt this one. Cheers!
Merry Christmas, cheers, I’m running out to get this tomorrow morning. Go Phillies
Love the Turkey hat!
After breaking Bourbon rated it four or 4 1/2 barrels my God brother bought four bottle. I need to try still. I have B522 and I thought that was good.
Glad I was able to get a bottle. Gonna have to crack it soon
Killer bottle… glad I was able to get one
Jason, All, if you had to choose btwn this and EC C922?
Can someone explain the batch number significance? Are there multiple within each letter? Trying to understand
There are 3 releases each year. A,B and C. The the first digit that follows the letter is the month of release and the last 2 numbers are the year. I'm this case...C922...the third release of the year from September of 2022.
These are actually 49.99 in pa but they only sell them online usually so you gotta add shipping lol
I also don't normally care for Larceny, but recently bought the B522 after watching some reviews and its pretty good. How would you compare the C922 to that?
I think the C922 is a bit darker and richer than the B522. But I also liked the B522.
Hmm. I gambled on this one and MSRP in my area is $76 and I got it for that much because I was supporting my local mom n Pop store.
Good gamble
@@TheMashandDrum the owner was happy too that I took it off his hands. Also thanks for the honest and thorough review.
And I left one sitting on the shelf…. Augh…. Merry Christmas!
I told you J, i think they pulled something they'd been saving for Old Fitzy.
I passed up two options for this one because the last two I got were just so so. Now, I probably won’t be able to get it…
I don’t know what is inside this WT101 bottle it is not wild turkey 101 damn believe me its 6-8yrs old can’t believe it tastes much older than it states.

@Nathan Welle Nice! Then they must finally be starting to get distributed here.
C922 was extremely tasty
So good !! 2 thumbs up
I just found two bottles of this for $28 each 😂. they had them placed with the regular larceny
I prefer B522.

Hi Jason! What 2 other larceny batches have you recommended besides C922?
B522 and cat remember the other.
I sent a friend to the liquor store because a local store posted an ig story with 1 bottle of LBP. I was hoping it was B922 but it was C and I’m so glad I got it! Great taste profile with a solid finish
I better grab a backup 🤦♂️
Blame the cold on the grinch, and his boy Jack frost.
damn it, now i have to open mine
Check out the end of Wednesday live to see c922 against some Heavy hitters
All LBP have been lackluster for me until this one. C922 tastes like they watered down a boring batch like A122 with something interesting like Old Fitzgerald 8.
Sounds like this could make the Grinches heart grow three sizes

Stop!!! It's your fault I'm looking for a second bookers kentucky tea. If I see this I'm buying two.
It's better,...but seeing how most of their barrel proofs are bad it doesn't make it great. It's still average.

that bottle is 300 here in ny..crazy
Holy hell. That's nuts
Another unicorn normal people will never find.
This isnt a unicorn. Comes out 3x a year
@@TheMashandDrum so this particular batch won’t be a unicorn? Someone said it’s already up to $300 in PA. That’s just nuts.
I honestly have never seen it that high. But if thats the case, the store owner should be arrested. Lol
@@TheMashandDrum 😂
There are at least 20 of these at retail at a store near me. Merry Bourbon Christmas! I love it but still prefer ECBP.
So, it's not good. All burn and little flavor. Alcoholics may love this. I wasted my money
WOW!!! IM 3 MINUTES IN THIS VIDEO AND U HAVE SAID NOTHING OF VALUE!
IM OUT
I guess you haven’t figured out how to skip ahead... too bad, because lots of good stuff once you get past the promo at the beginning.
