Discover our wheated difference and learn how it's made.
UNLOCK THE PERFECT PAIRING
Whiskey and ginger first came together
as a medicinal concoction in the early
1800s. Today, it remains a popular flavor
combination in a range of classic and
modern cocktails—made all the more
smooth by mixing with Larceny.
Larceny Bourbon and ginger—whether
it be ginger ale, ginger beer, or a liqueur
like Domaine de Canton—make for an
elevated pairing. Larceny’s soft,
wheated
profile delivers on buttery
caramel and honeyed notes, with a rich
mouthfeel. This
richness stands in
contrast to ginger’s refreshing “bite,”
which can range from
sweet and mild
to spicy and sharp. It’s a natural flavor
enhancer that highlights the
warm
spice notes in our Bourbon.
BEER
VS.
ALE
Yes, there is a difference—but there
wasn’t always. The temperance
movement,
culminating in 1920s
Prohibition, prompted some ginger
beer producers to
develop alcohol-free
alternatives—resulting in ginger ale as
we know it today.
Ginger ale
- Lighter, sweeter flavor
- Effervescence
from carbonation - Alcohol-free
- Best mixed in highballs
Ginger beer
- Spicer, sharper punch
- Effervescence from fermentation
- Low ABV (.5% - 5%)
- Best mixed in Mules
