Laird’s 12 Year Old Rare Apple Brandy

Larceny Barrel Proof Batch A121 114.8 Proof
Type: Barrel Proof One of the best buys in bourbon right now. Yes, it is a relatively mass-produced whiskey, but it is a nicely done barrel-proof release of good bourbon to start with and the price/value ratio is a lot higher than a lot of newer craft whiskies that frankly are not as good – especially for the money.
Larceny Barrel Proof Batch B520 122.2 Proof
Type: Barrel ProofAn altogether much drier version than the A120 Release.
