While some may find the name intimidating, I found this label endearing on a sojourn across the border to discover new bottles. I think I equally laughed out loud and felt like a badass when I triumphantly picked up this bottle of 8 Year Widow Jane (barrel 455, bottle 129) from 2014. Widow Jane's nose has initial notes of bergamot and vetiver with citrus. It's almost reminiscent of a well crafted perfume. Later on, the aroma evolves to a wistful mix of cola, baking spices and a hint of orange. This is a well rounded bourbon. An initial flash of spices and subtle smoke are wrapped by cherry and oak in a picture perfect package. Like a good bourbon should, it warms your heart. The finish is medium-long with ripe fruit sweetness balanced with herbaceousness and minerality (possibly from the water they use from the Widow Jane Limestone Mine in NY).  I can tell that Widow Jane doesn't mess around. Though it gives you a content feeling as you sip, time in glass is kind to this pour. I'd love to try other bottles from them sometime. 8/10
