Larceny Small Batch, Elijah Craig Barrel Proof & Elijah Craig Small Batch Bundle

Larceny Small Batch, Elijah Craig Barrel Proof & Elijah Craig Small Batch Bundle. Heaven Hill Distillery, Bardstown, Kentucky — three bottles from Heaven Hill's flagship lineup in a single bundle: the wheated entry point (Larceny), the standard high-rye small batch (Elijah Craig Small Batch), and the annual cask strength release (Elijah Craig Barrel Proof) — a natural tasting flight through three distinct expressions of the same distillery's craft.

The three bottles represent three different approaches to Heaven Hill bourbon. Elijah Craig Small Batch is the consistent, approachable standard — 94 proof, upper rick house aging, the benchmark. Larceny Small Batch uses wheat in place of rye as the secondary grain, producing a softer, rounder, more dessert-forward character — a wheated bourbon from the same distillery that shows how dramatically mash bill changes the expression. Elijah Craig Barrel Proof takes the Small Batch base and removes the water reduction, bottling at cask strength for maximum intensity, complexity, and oak presence.

Together the three bottles answer the most useful question in bourbon education: what specifically does each production decision — mash bill, proof, finishing — contribute to the final character? Larceny shows what wheat does. Barrel Proof shows what cask strength does. Small Batch is the control.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the difference between Elijah Craig and Larceny? Both are Heaven Hill bourbons. Elijah Craig uses a high-corn, low-rye mash bill producing classic caramel and spice. Larceny uses wheat in place of rye as the secondary grain, creating a softer, rounder, more dessert-forward profile. Same distillery, fundamentally different mash bill character.
• What does adding Elijah Craig Barrel Proof to the bundle add? The Barrel Proof is the same Elijah Craig Small Batch distillate at cask strength — no water reduction, no chill filtration. Tasting it alongside the Small Batch shows exactly what removing the water addition does: more concentration, more intensity, more oak presence, longer finish.
• Is this a good gift bundle? One of the best entry-level Heaven Hill bundles available — three genuinely different expressions that collectively teach the recipient the most important variables in bourbon production while all coming from the same world-class Kentucky distillery.
