Again you two deliver a fun and informative review!! I've REALLY grown tired of many of the other whiskey tube personalities for various reasons but you two continue to be top notch - thanks for helping the community!
I just line up with these two most because they both have killer palates and when I’m tasting along I get similar notes. Y’all are great, Chad and Sara 🥃
3 weeks after I opened it the Larceny has opened up beautifully and is an absolutely delicious sip, that being said the Elijah is a slight bit better. Both bottles are wonderful and would be an excellent addition to anyone’s collection.
Second Sip Sara is always ahead of the game! Regardless of outcome, Love me some Larceny. A friend and I often split purchases. Hey, he's just down the street and I have "visitation rights" any time. LMAO
I'd be interested in a Larceny blind with some of the older ones. I would love to know if it really has gotten better. I wish I was buying more whiskey. Always stuff popping up that's fun to try.
In the B batch I was all about Larceny, this time I’m going for the Elijah. It sounds great and that’s perfect because I just finished my last bottle of ECBP.
I just tried my own comparison and first pours I preferred the Larceny, which surprised me. I just thought the flavors came through more than on the EC. That said I’m glad I could get both and don’t have to choose one over the other!
I've been getting into some Elijah Craig a little more after getting a local store pick. Larceny got me into wheaters. I think I'll get both and have my personal bourbon night😀🥃🥃
Back during the summer I had the money (for once! 😱) and wanted to buy a Larceny Barrel Proof. But I couldn't find nary a one. 3:55 "I can't drink with my nose." I used to snort Coke, but I had to quit - the bubbles were really tearing up my nose. 🤣 6:47 That's an interesting note for a bourbon. Pineapple is for me the distinguishing note of Laphroaig 10, but that's a Scottish whiskey with a 100% sprouted barley mash bill, and fruit is typical of barley. Surely the Elijah Craig mash bill doesn't have an outlandish amount of barley in it...
For what it's worth, Fred Minnick had the Larceny Full Proof in the top 10. I have a bottle and it is really, really good. That said, I have an older Elijah Craig and it is also really good. I think I prefer wheaters.
@@rflinch Yeah, we say that. Fred has a fantastic palate. One of the many great things about whiskey is there are no wrong answers and that there’s something for everyone. How awful would it be if everyone agreed on what was the best, it would make things so much harder to get! 😂
I've only ever had a couple of ECBPs but they've both just ever tasted hot to me...I'm good with high proof bourbon as well, but I just didn't get it with those couple i've tried...they were previous years options. I've not yet tried a Larceny Barrel proof, the few wheaters i've tried haven't really worked for me. But i haven't tried enough to fully say....i would try a Larceny Barrel proof if I found one at a solid price.
I always think that Larceny has sweeter and lighter flavor profile than ECBP. Two different kinds of animals. But I also do think that bourbon lovers normally prefer less sweet bourbon as it is already sweet enough lol
Dont mock we the people of the bourbon community for disagreeing with companies that take short cuts in the production of the bourbons we love. We heard everyone saying "Maybe they'll be just as good" ,or "its just a couple of months difference, how bad could it be". Well, in a vacuum they're good, but as good as previous years i think wveryone can agree. Additionally, if we blindly hand over our cash like good little sheep then what will be the next short cut? Maybe no age statements like they did us on the OG Elijah Craig... small batch... remember when that had the big "12" front and center. Then it got smaller... then it was on the back... then it vanished forever. Do you think new ECSB is as good as 12 yr. ECSB? Have some spine, call them out when they shit on the things we love for an extra buck.
@@jeffscalfano3100 This is a great comment for a larger discussion. Would you mind if we use it in a future episode? But real quick, we were talking about those who decide not to try a release based on the specs on the label, not those who after trying it don’t prefer it as well as higher proof / higher aged releases. But as I said, there’s a good discussion here.
@@jeffscalfano3100I totally agree with you on this issue. I always get complaints for mentioning this fact. Some don’t like to accept their beloved distillery is shortchanging them on quality for a buck. Or it could be they ran out of good, well aged barrels, even if only temporarily. Either way something bad has happened to ECBP and ECSB. I think sometimes it’s hard for bourbon drinkers to accept the inconvenient truth, it feels better to ignore what’s happened, or pretend nothing has happened at all. But this goes beyond just Heaven Hill, it’s other distillers too.
Couldn’t be more different , Larceny C release is way better. Worst ECBP C release in years. No oak, sweet notes, straight raw peanut. Just my humble opinion
@@ItsBourbonNight Absolutely...I love doing double blinds because the results can blow you away. Like when a friend threw Early Times BiB in with 3 $200 PLUS allocated and the ET won on 4 out of 5 scorecards.
Thanx for making that choice harder 😂. Kidding, I'm gonna get them both anyway lol!
Maybe this episode should be titled, “Drink This AND That”. Love your reviews! Can’t wait to grab both of these!

@@paulgrace1279 Thank you!

Lmao the “watch where you point that thing” with the black light out was hilarious

Picked up Larceny C924 yesterday in Central IL $53 Sams Club. I'm a fan !!!
You should have blended the 2 together to make a banger 4 grain blend!
Second Sip Sara is always ahead of the game! Regardless of outcome, Love me some Larceny. A friend and I often split purchases. Hey, he's just down the street and I have "visitation rights" any time. LMAO
I can't wait to try these bottles. Imo the B batches of both were excellent this year. Heaven Hill can do no wrong in my experience. Cheers
I haven't found an ECBP all year, I didn't find Larceny A or C but I've seen Larceny B524 every time I've been to a liquor store since June. Its wild.
Love this video format! I always grab both..🤣
I'd be interested in a Larceny blind with some of the older ones. I would love to know if it really has gotten better. I wish I was buying more whiskey. Always stuff popping up that's fun to try.
Thanks for the comparison video 🥃
Glad to hear there good I'll pick up both, Thanks for the review!!
I'm really excited for LBP C924 now!
Picked up the EC on a whim since I’ve been getting more into higher proofs. I wasn’t disappointed but be warned you will get that Kentucky hug!
Yayayyaayyayayaay first thought on your first initials because it was pretty caddy
Nice comparisons! Thanks!
ECBPs are hands down my fav allocation every year. No need for reviews its a BIN everytime. HH makes such great bourbon.
In the B batch I was all about Larceny, this time I’m going for the Elijah. It sounds great and that’s perfect because I just finished my last bottle of ECBP.
Nice review! I will be getting both! Cheers
I haven’t stepped up to barrel proof yet, but Larceny has been impressive in my short time
Thanks for the review 🎉
I just tried my own comparison and first pours I preferred the Larceny, which surprised me. I just thought the flavors came through more than on the EC. That said I’m glad I could get both and don’t have to choose one over the other!
The correct answer is drink both
I've been getting into some Elijah Craig a little more after getting a local store pick. Larceny got me into wheaters. I think I'll get both and have my personal bourbon night😀🥃🥃
Now I want to get both of them!
Nice review! I typically like Larceny over EC. I've passed on both A & B batches this year. I will probably get both C batches though.
@ItsBourbonNight we will be coming to Lexington this weekend. Any recommendations on food, drinks or things to do?
@@BigDaddy_256 I would hit up Justins’ House of Bourbon for some pours and OBC Kitchen for dinner and some pours!
@@ItsBourbonNight thank you for the info, we will be sure to check it out.
So what’s the summary for the year? Jan,May or Sept and which one?
Back during the summer I had the money (for once! 😱) and wanted to buy a Larceny Barrel Proof. But I couldn't find nary a one.

They both sound like they are definate buys this year
Haven't seen either of the C934's yet. Larceny usually $5 below MSRP and ECBP $5 above around here so the price difference is amplified.
Thanks for the review. Out of curiosity how long do you let your pour sit/air time before you taste?
How does the c batch of 24 compare to ‘23?
Haven't done that side by side just yet.
For what it's worth, Fred Minnick had the Larceny Full Proof in the top 10. I have a bottle and it is really, really good. That said, I have an older Elijah Craig and it is also really good. I think I prefer wheaters.

I think they had an "unrelated to whiskey" fight just before filming. Lol
Bring your C game!!!
I’ve got too many of ECBP and Larceny BP so I’m passing on all of them unless they are an absolute banger
In my market, Ontario Canada, the ECbp is 35usd more expensive.,
Larceny at 53 though?
I always think that Larceny has sweeter and lighter flavor profile than ECBP. Two different kinds of animals. But I also do think that bourbon lovers normally prefer less sweet bourbon as it is already sweet enough lol
William 0:21
Larceny should have been the name of the old Fitzgerald decanter bottle. Secondary markets made it feel like that crime.
The shade Sara threw at 8:20ish... amazing.. Sugar and shit...
@@johnferron3709 😂
Pre-watch guess: no way especially on a C batch
I wish Larceny would have waited until A125 to intro the new label...but that's just me..
WHISKEY CHEERS 🍻

I can’t decide, so I just picked my nose 😊.
Honestly Larceny has been killer end of 22 and all of 23. Compared to EC as C923 was great but wasnt impressed with 24 and most of 23.
You should be putting Larceny up against barrel proof wheaters lol this is an apples to oranges comparison.
Larceny BP B523 and A124 were better than ECBP B523 and A124.
Larceny B523 was so good
Larceny BP beats ECBP all day.
Larceny = Cinnabon
1st
Couldn’t be more different , Larceny C release is way better. Worst ECBP C release in years. No oak, sweet notes, straight raw peanut. Just my humble opinion
The Ascot didn't agree... Larceny C924 number 7 in his top 100...EC C924 didn't make the cut.
@@jeffcooper5026 Different strokes, different folks. The beauty of whiskey! There’s no wrong answers in whiskey.
