What to Expect from B525
While Heaven Hill has yet to confirm the final specs, Larceny Barrel Proof B525 is expected to follow the series’ established format:
Mash Bill: 68% corn, 20% wheat, 12% malted barley
Aging: 6 to 8 years
Proof: Varies by batch; estimated between 118–126 proof
Price: ~$65 MSRP
Availability: Limited national release, arriving May 2025
Nose (anticipated): Caramel, cinnamon, baked bread, and toasted oak
Palate (anticipated): Brown sugar, honey-drizzled cornbread, spice, and nougat
Finish (anticipated): Long and warm, with wheat sweetness and barrel spice
Larceny Barrel Proof releases provide an alternative to the distillery’s rye-based Elijah Craig series, offering softer sweetness and bready complexity at barrel strength.

How It Fits into the 2025 Lineup
Like its sibling, Elijah Craig Barrel Proof B525, this Larceny release represents Heaven Hill’s parallel barrel-proof program for wheated and rye-based bourbons. Both are released as part of the B batch in an annual series (A, B, and C) corresponding to January, May, and September respectively, but they are aged and bottled separately based on mash bill and maturation profiles.
The earlier A125 batch of Larceny drew praise for its drinkability and layered sweetness. Fans are hoping B525 turns up the heat without sacrificing balance.

Recent Larceny Barrel Proof Comparisons
Looking at prior releases provides a helpful baseline:
A124 (Jan 2024): Proof 124.2 | Burnt caramel, roasted hazelnut, baking spice, and deep raisin with a bold spice-forward finish
B524 (May 2024): Proof 125.4 | Dark fruit, cinnamon, hazelnut, and melted chocolate with robust barrel char
C924 (Sept 2024): Proof 125.1 | Cocoa powder, toasted walnut, coffee, and light smoke with a warm, balanced finish
A125 (Jan 2025): Proof ~125.0 | Pretzel dough, clove, burnt brown sugar, and honey with a slightly muted backend spice
If B525 falls in the 120–124 proof range, it could strike a sweet spot between richness and drinkability—especially for fans who prefer wheat-forward profiles over rye.

What Makes Larceny Barrel Proof Stand Out
Wheated bourbons at cask strength are less common, and Larceny Barrel Proof has carved out a loyal following for delivering smooth, full-bodied flavor without dilution. Each batch offers natural variation and complexity, making the series a key counterpart to the bolder, spicier Elijah Craig Barrel Proof line.
