As great whiskey makers throughout the world from Kentucky to Scotland have long known, it takes sweet water from tough rock to make great whiskey. And, thats what Widow Jane Whiskey is all about.

When the Widow Jane team set out to produce their whiskey they strived to offer something truly flavor forward, something bold and rich with character but most importantly had a taste of New York in each sip. All Widow Jane whiskey is cut to proof with pure limestone mineral water from the legendary Rosendale Mines of NY, just 100 miles north from their distillery in Red Hook, Brooklyn. It was limestone from this mine which was used to build the foundation of some of New Yorks greatest structures: the gargantuan caissons of the Brooklyn Bridge, the Empire State Building and the 27,000-ton pedestal to the Statue of Liberty.

This water is integral to their whiskey as a signature ingredient. And the legend surrounding these mines is what gives Widow Jane whiskey its name. Both urban & urbane, Widow Jane is New Yorks very own. The signature whiskey of the worlds most magnificent and maddening metropolis.

This is an American Oak Rye aged in a once-used 10-year bourbon barrel. Fresh cut Applewood Staves were place alongside the oak to yield a soothing and fruity rye compared to the more traditional spiced rye. This whiskey delivers a bold flavor balanced with genuine, bright apple notes and a subtle sweetness.

Distilled on-site in Red Hook, Brooklyn, this rye is non-chill filtered to ensure the whiskey flavor remains unadulterated before being cut to proof with the hard-yet-sweet limestone mineral water from the legendary Mines of Rosendale, NY.

Oak and Applewood is a true New York City whiskey, evocative both of one of mankinds greatest achievements New York Citys skyline and Brooklyns artisanal, craft spirits movement. Both urban and urbane, Widow Jane Rye is New York’s very own a signature whiskey of the world’s most magnificent and maddening metropolis.
