Widow Jane Oak & Applewood Aged Rye Whiskey (750 ml, 93 proof / 46.5% ABV)

Widow Jane is a Brooklyn-based whiskey brand founded in 2012, born out of the creative, artisanal culture of Red Hook. What started as a small chocolate-making venture evolved into a whiskey project built on the same values of craftsmanship and authenticity. From the beginning, the brand aimed to stand apart by combining traditional whiskey-making techniques with a distinctly New York identity.

Its defining feature is the use of limestone water from the historic Widow Jane mine in Rosendale, New York. This mineral-rich water, filtered through ancient limestone, gives their whiskey a smooth texture and unique mouthfeel, becoming the brand’s hallmark. While Widow Jane sources aged bourbons and ryes from Kentucky, Indiana, and Tennessee, the blending, proofing, and bottling are done in Brooklyn, using that special water. Alongside this, they are steadily developing their own distillates with heirloom corn varieties and custom stills, moving toward a future of grain-to-glass production.

Today, Widow Jane is recognized for marrying heritage and innovation, producing whiskeys that are bold, complex, and unmistakably tied to a sense of place. Each bottle reflects both New York grit and the elegance of carefully aged American whiskey.
