Reviewed May 1, 2024 (edited September 16, 2024)I can barely find any information about this other than what’s printed on the bottle. I liked their 10 and 12 though, so this seemed like a fair gamble. Batch #6, Bottle #466, bottled 2022. Let’s see what it’s all about. Nose: Vanilla, honey, toffee, and toasted marshmallow. Brown sugar. Some mint and a subtle floral note. Caramelized apple. Raisin and dried apricot. Toasted almond and walnut. Black pepper, clove, nutmeg, and oak spice. Palate: Chewy caramel and milk chocolate. Brown sugar. Toffee, vanilla, and sugar cookie. Heavy ginger, black pepper, rye, and even pumpkin spice. Dried apricot, gala apple, and a hint of black cherry. Mocha. Candied yam. Orange citrus. Cocoa, black tea, and pipe smoke. Plenty of oak. Finish: Toffee, caramel, milk chocolate, vanilla, and brown sugar. Gala apple and dried apricot. Toasted almond and walnut. Pipe smoke, black tea, and cocoa. Black pepper, ginger, clove, nutmeg, and oak. Moderate-long, leaning toward the latter. Really glad I grabbed this. Definitely the best Widow Jane product I’ve had to date. 100 proof and a 10 year age statement? Very respectable. It’s just a classic chewy bourbon profile done to a tee. I’ve had a couple people in bars tell me that they knew for absolute certain that it isn’t bourbon if it isn’t made in Kentucky. Legally. Not only is that patently untrue, but this also proves that the spirit of bourbon can be captured anywhere, given the right circumstances. Like I said, 10 years, 100 proof. At $86, this was easily worth the price of entry. It’s so rare to get both respectable age and ABV in the same bottle. Widow Jane celebrated their 10th anniversary in style with this one. If you’re lucky enough to spot one of these on the shelf at this point in the game, I highly encourage the buy. 4.75/5.86.0 USD per Bottle -
