Brooklyn Craftsmanship Meets Traditional Methods

 

Introducing Widow Jane Rye Apple Wood, a standout expression from the innovative Widow Jane Distillery in Brooklyn, New York. This unique rye mash whisky is meticulously crafted using 100% malted whole grain rye, showcasing the distillery's commitment to quality and innovation. The spirit undergoes a double pot distillation process and matures in an exceptional trio of casks: new American oak, ex-bourbon barrels, and barrels enhanced with apple wood staves.

 

A Fusion of Flavors

 

This careful maturation process results in a whisky that harmoniously blends the spiciness typical of rye with the sweet, complex notes from its varied cask journey. The addition of apple wood staves brings a distinctively balanced blend of fruitiness and subtle smoky undertones, making Widow Jane Rye Apple Wood a truly unique offering in the world of rye whiskies.

 

Tasting Notes

 

  • Nose: The aroma is rich and layered, featuring citrus peel and tangy tropical fruit that lead into deeper notes of cinnamon, cut grass, and apple blossom. The profile is rounded out by peppery oak, baked apples, brown sugar, and hints of homemade jam.
  • Palate: On the palate, Widow Jane Rye Apple Wood presents a fabulously balanced experience. Sweet rye bread and honey lay the foundation, with additional layers of raisins and nuts emerging. Each sip reveals a new dimension, anchored by a smooth finish of caramel and mocha.
  • Finish: The finish is smooth and lasting, with caramel and mocha flavors that leave a pleasant, lingering warmth.
