Widow Jane Description
WIDOW JANE MINE
It follows that the most basic ingredient is water – and...
As all the great whiskey distillers throughout the world — from Kentucky to Scotland — have long known: is that is takes sweet water from tough rock to make great whiskey.
This is why all Widow Jane products are distilled or proofed with water from the historic limestone caves of the Widow Jane Mine in Rosendale, New York – a water with such unique chemical properties as to be equal to that used by the most revered whiskey makers.
HEIRLOOM CORNS
Where single malt scotches are distilled only from barley, American bourbons are expressions of the vast range of New World ingredients from rye to corn and offer a much wider spectrum of flavors and aromas.
NON-GMO BOURBONS
For Widow Jane whiskeys and bourbons, we wanted to expand upon the palate of even the most vaunted bourbons from Kentucky and also wanted a product that was 100% GMO free. We began researching corn and became fascinated not only with the quantity of corn varietals, but the devotion and stories of the “seed sharers,” families and exchange banks that had kept those varietals from disappearing forever.
Along the way, people kept telling us we were wasting our time; that the type of corn used in distilling wouldn't make a difference; that it was just too expensive to produce. Resilience paid off when we finally tasted his first batch of Widow Jane Heirloom Bourbon Whiskey – completely GMO free, from the enzymes used in the fermentation to the grains used in the mash. Within each kernel of that heirloom corn, within the waters of the Widow Jane Mine there was a history, a true sense of terroir, a story to tell – and that story revealed itself in the unique richness and flavors of Widow Jane Heirloom Bourbon Whiskey.
This 10 year whiskey is aged to perfection. It drinks like a 20 year bourbon with its deep cherry notes and light tannic finish.

Ultimate Spirits Challenge: 89 Points
This whiskey shows a heady aroma of pie crust, crushed tangerines, and dried berries. This is a powerful spirit with big, leathery flavors of toasted corn, toffee bar, and invigorating spicy finish that resonates of cayenne spice.
