Distiller Notes
Widow Jane American Oak Aged Whiskey starts as a minimum four-year old straight rye whiskey, with a high-rye mashbill. Its round, bold flavor is balanced with warm spice and an elegant sweetness. This is a spicy-yet-approachable whiskey that is great neat, but also makes incredible cocktails. A good bitter, or a splash of vermouth or ginger beer goes a long way in bringing out the flavors of this bold, complex rye. Whereas most ryes are incredibly peppery, brash, or abrasive, their rye layered and nuanced, while still maintaining Widow Jane's signature bold complexity and sophistication. It's non-chill filtered like all their whiskeys, cut to proof with their signature "hard-yet-sweet" mineral-rich Limestone filtered water from the legendary mines of Rosendale, NY, and is blended together just five barrels at a time - truly a small batch whiskey.
Aromas of clover honey and orange peel, with flavors of brown sugar and white pepper make this a great sipping whiskey, or the perfect base for any classic whiskey cocktail.
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.
