Hand assembled in Brooklyn, this whiskey from Widow Jane is distilled from a rye mash and is aged in American oak barrels. The first thing that strikes you is that classic cockle-warming rye character, all rich caramel and fiery black pepper. But there’s also lots of fruit (think orange peel and peach iced tea), plus runny honey, amaretti and a savoury earthiness. It’s a spicy little number that’s calling out for cocktails, so grab some bitters, vermouth or ginger beer and have a play. Widow Jane is small-batch Bourbon from the cobblestone streets of Red Hook, Brooklyn. Their team scour the country for the finest barrels of Straight Bourbon and rye whiskey, then blend them together.
