With the help of distiller David Pickerell, Grass Widow, named for a regional pre-Prohibition whiskey brand, is a sourced high-rye bourbon mash bill (36% rye, 60% corn, 4% barley) blend that was aged in new oak, then given a finish in ex-Madeira casks.

Tasting Notes

"Madeira is an interesting choice and it does lend a boost of rich, roasted nuts (cashew, Marcona almond, Brazil nut), figs and dates to the mix. Intense spiciness, both hot and sweet, comes in as though shot from a flamethrower, drying up that richness and any fruity notes. The flavors are pleasant, but could use some settling down. "
