Widow Jane Oak & Apple Wood Aged is a whiskey distilled from a rye mash, aged in first-fill bourbon casks and finished with real apple wood staves, bottled at 91 proof (45.5% ABV).
The apple wood staves deliver a bold flavor balanced with genuine, bright apple notes and subtle sweetness. As with every Widow Jane whiskey, it is proofed with limestone water from the legendary Rosendale Mines of New York and non-chill filtered. It was awarded Gold at the 2021 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
Aromas of apple cider donut lead to a taste of bittersweet smoke and anise, with a finish of crisp apple and demerara sugar.
The minimalist label makes it a sophisticated gift for adventurous whiskey fans.
