Widow Jane Paradigm is a blend of straight rye whiskeys aged in new American oak and proofed with limestone mineral water from the Rosendale Mines of New York, bottled at 93 proof (46.5% ABV).
Paradigm marries Widow Jane's access to whiskeys across state lines with spirit distilled in Red Hook, blending it with hand-selected rye whiskeys from Kentucky and Indiana. It carries on the tradition of Widow Jane's unusual ryes, delicate yet a powerful base for classic cocktails, with a flavor profile that goes beyond rye's famous spice to the sweetness and mouthfeel that show rye's diversity.
Aromas of lemon meringue pie, spring flowers, cut grass and lychee lead to buttered rye toast, mandarin marmalade, cedar and white pepper on the palate, with a smooth, rounded finish.
The minimalist green label makes it an elegant gift for rye lovers.
