Larceny and Buffalo Trace are different companies and different mash stories. Heaven Hill’s Larceny page prints 92 proof (46% ABV) and a wheated mash — wheat instead of rye. Buffalo Trace prints 90 proof (45%) and Mash Bill #1. A 1.5-ounce pour is 1.15 drinks at 46% and 1.13 at 45%. This is not a 2023 winner and not a 2026 MSRP list.
Heaven Hill’s “six-year-old taste profile” is brand copy, not a TTB age statement. Related: wheated bourbon, Buffalo Trace, Elijah Craig vs Buffalo Trace.

A 750 mL 46% bottle is about 19 drinks. Four 92-proof pours are about 4.6 drinks. NIAAA binge pattern is a health line, not a target. Pour math: whiskey drinks.
