Widow Jane Whiskey Distilled From Rye Mash

When rye comes off the still it is sweet, grassy, and floral. A traditional "spicy" characteristic all come from the barrel. With this whiskey, our goal was to lightly oak the rye distillate in our 7-year bourbon barrels with added fresh oak and applewood staves. This is a light, tropical "summer" rye and makes for some great cocktails. A good bitter, or a splash of vermouth or ginger beer goes a long way. Aroma: Cardamom, rum raisin, tropical pineapple, orange peel, sugar cane Front: Vanilla, clover, orange peel, maple and brown sugar Mid: Smoked maple, almond, apricot Finish: Tannic but even, white pepper, basswood
