Widow Jane 10 Year Old Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Widow Jane · Widow Jane Distillery
Widow Jane's sourced 10-year blend is a study in balance — neither too sweet nor too spicy, with enough barrel influence to show its age without tasting over-oaked. It drinks well above its proof and rewards patience in the glass.
Nose
Rich butterscotch and toasted pecan arrive first, followed by a second wave of dried cherry and worn leather. A gentle cornbread sweetness sits beneath everything, anchoring the more volatile aromatics.
Palate
The entry is full and buttery, with caramel rolling into baking spice and charred oak. Midpalate delivers ripe cherry and a pronounced vanilla cream, while rye-driven pepper builds toward the back.
Finish
Long and warming, with maple syrup and tobacco lingering alongside fading oak tannins.
