When you take the first sip, you will notice the burning of alcohol from start to finish. The toffee and caramel flavors are pretty strong, along with the taste of vanilla.

Excerpt: Widow Jane 10 Year Single Barrel is a good reminder that no matter how you start, it’s how you finish that’s remembered, and sadly this pour stumbles across the finish line.

Thanks to its age statement, we know each barrel used in the making of Widow Jane Bourbon was aged for no less than 10 years. Some of the barrels may have been aged longer.

It has a deep copper-colored complexion and gives the most pleasing look. There is something very impressive about the deep, dark, and vibrant color bourbon, blended with different hues and shades. I loved the look of the bottle too. Nose This whiskey looks visually appealing and has a dark color with a syrupy texture. It smells like a classic bourbon, along with the notes of caramel and vanilla. This classic bourbon opens with aromas of caramel, dried cherries, vanilla, corn, roasted nuts, and oak. It also has a slight hint of apple and raisins. This whiskey does give off the scent of ethanol at all. As it goes down your nose, the dark stone fruit smells become more pronounced. You may notice cacao powder notes as well. Overall the nose has everything you would want to have in a bourbon flavor whiskey. Smell B and B-: Good and above average. The best of the mass market whiskeys fit in this category, as do the bulk of the premium brands. A B- is three stars. We may sell, license, transfer, assign or in any other way dispose of the Service (including Members) to any third party without any notification to you, e.g. (but without limitation) in connection with any reorganization, restructuring, merger or sale, or other transfer of assets.At first, I was surprised that this whiskey landed so high on the list. But then I remembered that I’ve always enjoyed the whiskeys produced by Widow Jane (including The Vaults). This 10-year-old expression would be a welcome addition to any home bar for the summer months. 2) Eagle Rare 10 (Taste 6) Eagle Rare Wild Turkey is a big name in the bourbon world. But sometimes it doesn’t get the respect it deserves. This is why it launched Russell’s Reserve a few years ago. The shining star of the brand is its 10-year-old expression. This 90-proof, high-corn bourbon is the culmination of almost 100 years of distilling experience between father and son duo Jimmy and Eddie Russell. When the Widow Jane team set out to produce their own whiskey they wanted to offer something that was flavor-forward, bold, and rich with character, but most importantly had a taste of New York. All Widow Jane whiskeys are proofed with pure limestone water from the legendary Rosendale Mines of NY, just 100 miles north of their home in Red Hook, Brooklyn. It was limestone from this mine that was used to build the foundation of some of New York’s greatest structures: the gargantuan caissons of the Brooklyn Bridge, the Empire State Building, and the 27,000-ton pedestal to the Statue of Liberty. The whiskey is a dark amber color with an almost syrupy texture, which looks incredibly appealing. The smell of the spirit is spot-on for a typical standard bourbon, with notes of toffee caramel and vanilla. In 2018, after a litigious battle between Preston and potential buyers, the Widow Jane brand was acquired by Samson & Surrey — a drinks marketing support and consulting firm based in Miami, Florida.
