Widow Jane 7 Year Straight Bourbon

Bourbon — USA

Reviewed September 10, 2018 (edited December 22, 2018)
4.0
4.0 out of 5 stars
A friend of mine introduced me to this fine Brooklyn Bourbon.  It is a rich copper colored liquid in a simple bottle with a white label.  I really dig the simple look of the bottle. It makes me think of the old time western elixirs the snake oil salesmen would peddle in the movies.  As for the bourbon, it is a 10 year old, 91 proof, Kentucky sourced bourbon that is blended with rich NY limestone water that helps make this a beautifully smooth drinking bourbon.  At first sip you get a nice warm flavorful medley of vanilla, carmel, oak, mocha, and a pepper spiciness that blends together perfectly.  The warmth you sensed at first taste progressively builds into a smolder as it progresses toward the finish. You can now taste baking spices and a subtle earthiness that the limestone water imparts on the bourbon. These flavors all round out nicely in the finish, which isn't too long or hot as you might expect it to be at first taste. All in all this is a solid bourbon to add to your collection. At the current $65 - $70 price point I think it is a little overpriced for what it is. In my opinion you are paying a surcharge for the marketing of their "mine water" story and the Brooklyn "hip" factor more than flavor, which leads me to rate it a 3.5 to 4 out of 5.

    main issue w/ Widow Jane is the price which sky rockets with the black label age date bottle, certianly its good its just that you can find others just as good without spending the extra 20 to 30 dollars.
