| Long Description | From the same starting point as our American Oak Rye, we wanted to extend the flavor profile of our rye whiskey into something more. This soothing and fruity rye builds on the round flavor of the American oak barrel with an Apple Wood stave finish that imparts genuine bright apple notes & subtle sweetness. Traditional ryes are peppery, brash, or slightly abrasive. Our rye is subtle and when used in a cocktail, allows for a more elegant profile. Non-chill filtered for the finest flavor & aroma, proofed with our very own "hard-yet-sweet" mineral water from the legendary Rosendale limestone mines of Hudson Valley, NY. The pure limestone-filtered mineral content of the water coats the palate for a long, rich 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. |
