WIDOW JANE 10 YR STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKEY
​
Widow Jane 10 is aged a minimum of 10 years which we hold to be close to perfection. Many people tell us that the Widow drinks more like a 20 year old thanks to a depth & complexity that is highly unusual even for its age. On the nose people find ripe fruits, cream, and toffee. The front delivers black cherry, the mid-point orange leading to a long long finish with spice & cinnamon. Altogether a remarkable Bourbon of which we are justifiably proud.
Aroma: Butter, Cream, Toffee
Front: Cherry Wood, Olive Oil
Mid: Orange
Finish: Burnt Orange & Spice
After Glow: Cinnamon & Light Tannins
WIDOW JANE 12 YEAR 99 PROOF STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKEY

Some say that Widow Jane 12 represents a deeper darker side to the Widow. This 99 proof single barrel Bourbon is selected from some of our favorite casks that show special promise. Definitely more intense, more complex and with dark fruits, crème brulee, and a creamy finsh.
Aroma: Dark Woods, Molasses
Front: Black Cherry, Mineral Oil, Tobacco
Mid: Sweet Spices
Finish: Thick Cream, Burnt Oak
After Glow: Concentrated Tannin, Leather
WHISKEY DISTILLED FROM A RYE MASH -AMERICAN OAK AGED
When rye comes off the still it is sweet, grassy, and floral. A traditional “spicy” characteristic all come from the barrel. With this whiskey, our goal was to lightly oak and round out the the rye distillate in our once-used 10-year bourbon barrels with added fresh cut oak staves.
This is a light, tropical “summer” rye and makes for some great cocktails. A good bitter, or a splash of vermouth or ginger beer goes a long way.
Aroma: Cardamom, Rum Raisin, Pineapple
Front: Vanilla, Clover, Orange, Maple
Mid: Smoked, Almond, Apricot
Finish: White Pepper, Basswood
WHISKEY DISTILLED FROM A RYE MASH - AMERICAN OAK & APPLEWOOD AGED
​
From the same starting point as our Oak Rye aged in a once-used 10-year bourbon barrel, we wanted to extend the flavor profile of our rye distillate into a new profile, that would make a soothing and fruity rye compared to traditional ryes. To do so we add fresh cut Applewood Staves alongside the oak.
Nose: Apple Cider Donuts, Tobacco
Taste: Bitter Sweet Smoke, Light Anise
Finish: Crisp Apple, Demerara Sugar
