About Widow Jane 10 Year
Widow Jane is an artisanal distillery based in the Red Hook neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York City. The brand takes its name from the historic Rosendale mines in upstate New York, whose limestone helped build landmarks like the Brooklyn Bridge. This craft whiskey is a blend of very small batch bourbons, all ten years or older, and it is brought to proof with Widow Jane’s proprietary limestone mineral water drawn from those same Rosendale mines. That limestone water is the same kind of mineral profile that gives Kentucky bourbon its soft, sweet mouthfeel.
Tasting Notes
Blending well-aged bourbons and proofing them with limestone mineral water gives this whiskey a soft, rounded texture with a subtle sweetness. Expect the rich caramel, vanilla, and oak of a decade-aged bourbon, smoothed out by that signature mineral water for an easy, elegant sip.
What to Pair It With
This is a bourbon to enjoy neat or over one large cube so its texture comes through, ideal for a slow pour in our 21+ lounge. From the Sparrow dinner menu, it pairs nicely with the American Wagyu steaks or the Truffle Deviled Eggs.
