Overview

Jim Murray ranking 95!!  Superstar whisky that gives us a reason to live.

Widow Jane Rye Mash American Oak Aged is a standout American whiskey that blends tradition with bold innovation. Crafted in Brooklyn, this expression is built on a 51% rye mash bill but defies typical rye conventions. Rather than leaning into sharp spice, Widow Jane tempers the grain’s natural bite with aging in new American oak, which rounds out the palate and introduces warmth and depth

This isn’t your typical rye—it's designed for those who appreciate the art of whiskey making and enjoy a more refined, less aggressive style. Whether you’re sipping it neat, over ice, or in a premium cocktail, Widow Jane Rye Mash offers complexity and approachability in equal measure. A modern classic with a Brooklyn soul, perfect for drinkers who admire craftsmanship over convention..

Distillery Information

Widow Jane Distillery is based in Brooklyn, New York, and built its name on using limestone water drawn from the old Rosendale mines upstate, the same mineral-rich water once used to make the cement for the Brooklyn Bridge. That water, combined with careful cask work, is what gives this rye its distinct character.
