Hand assembled in the Red Hook neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York, Widow Jane brings these to you with non chill-filtration, and proofed with a hard-yet-sweet pure limestone water from the Legendary Rosendale Mines of Upstate New York.
They took some of their legendary 10 year old Bourbons and finished them in barrels that held New York's finest artisanal maple syrup from Crown Maple. The result is a rich, creamy-smooth and slightly sweet mouthful of whiskey flavor that is way beyond good.
Best serve neat, over one rock, or in an Old Fashioned.

Look for concentrated caramel and vanilla aromas. The palate leads with alcohol punch, but adding water integrates toffee, espresso and spice, leading into a mild clove finish. This is a blend of straight Bourbons from Kentucky, Tennessee and Indiana blended in Brooklyn.
Small Batch Whiskey from Red Hook, Brooklyn, NY. Widow Jane scours the country for the finest barrels of Straight Bourbon and Rye Whiskeys. Hand assembled right here in the Red Hook neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York, these spirits are made with non chill-filtration, and proofed with a hard-yet-sweet pure limestone water from the Legendary Rosendale Mines of Upstate New York. Widow Jane distills every week in Red Hook using the finest non-GMO ingredients.
When the Widow Jane team set out to produce their own whiskey, they wanted to offer something that was bold and rich with character, but most importantly had the intense taste of New York in each sip. All Widow Jane whiskeys are proofed with pure limestone mineral water from the legendary Rosendale Mines of NY, just 100 miles north of their home in Red Hook, Brooklyn. It was limestone from these mines in Rosendale which were used to build the foundation of some of New York’s and the country’s greatest structures: the gargantuan caissons of the Brooklyn Bridge, the Empire State Building and the 27,000-ton pedestal to the Statue of Liberty. In addition, Grand Central Terminal, the original Federal Hall in Lower Manhattan, the Washington Monument, roads across American, and parts of the White House, too, used Rosendale limestone to build their tough foundations. This water is their fingerprint and signature ingredient in all Widow Jane whiskeys.
Although Bourbon may be produced anywhere in the United States, it is most commonly associated with Bourbon County, Kentucky, where it has been produced since the late 18th century. Made from a mash bill containing at least 51% corn, the Bourbon Whiskey distillate must be aged in new, charred white oak barrels. Bourbon Whiskeys are bottled at eighty proof (40% abv) or higher and cannot contain any added color or flavor. A versatile spirit that can be sipped neat, with water or on the rocks, it also performs nicely added to cocktails like the Old Fashioned.
