Brooklyn, New York’s Widow Jane distillery has become a master at the use of sourced whiskeys in the years since it first opened shop. Their access to a range of different bourbons has allowed for different age statement expressions, such as the recent expanded release of a 10 year old that’s been finished in special maple syrup barrels.
The Widow Jane Decadence, according to those behind it, takes the distillery’s 10 year old and finishes it for a spell in American oak barrels that held Upstate New York’s Crown Maple artisan maple syrup. What’s been released now is an expended offering, with the initial limited run of whiskey being sold out in 48 hours.
- Nose: Sugared pecans, maple, birch beer, charred oak
- Palate: Vanilla, burnt sugar, cinnamon, bark
- Finish: Brown sugar, shortbread, mellow tobacco, old whiskey; delivers a slightly sweet, creamy-rich mouthfeel and lingering finish
