| Long Description | The Vaults is Widow Jane’s annual exploration of wood finishes on well-aged whiskey. The Vaults 2024 limited release is a marriage of 15-year-old bourbons from a collection of old and rare Widow Jane barrels. After painstakingly selecting each barrel for its depth of flavor, the bourbon is finished in hard-to-source, Amburana wood casks. The result is a bourbon unparalleled in its complexity, yet rarer still for its age. Also known as ‘Brazilian Oak’, Amburana grows in the dry jungles of Brazil and Argentina. A challenging environment with poor soil and irregular rainfall lead to slow growth and limited availability. Amburana wood is renowned for its unexpected combination of warm spices, floral, and tropical notes. Finishing in Amburana casks produces a bourbon as remarkably smooth and complex as the wood itself. The barrels for The Vaults 2024 release have been intentionally selected to match the complexity and striking flavors of this special wood. Cut with our proprietary limestone mine water from Upstate NY, and bottled at 99 proof, you’ll experience all this whiskey has to offer, from nose to palate to the exceptionally long finish. |

| Brand Story | SMALL BATCH Whiskey from Red Hook, Brooklyn, NY. Widow Jane scours the country for the finest barrels of Straight Bourbon & Rye Whiskeys. Hand assembled right here in the Red Hook neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York, we bring 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. Widow Jane distills every week in Red Hook using the finest non-GMO ingredients.
When the Widow Jane team set out to produce our own whiskey, we 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 our 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, & parts of the White House, too, used Rosendale limestone to build their tough foundations. This water is our fingerprint and signature ingredient in all Widow Jane whiskeys. |
