Expert description

Widow Jane 10 Year American Straight Bourbon Whiskey has matured for 10 years and is proofed with water from the historic Widow Jane Mine, bottled at 45.5%. Widow Jane was created by aerospace engineer Daniel Preston in Red Hook, Brooklyn, where the distillery is now housed in a former chocolate factory. The whiskey's name and signature water come from the Widow Jane Mine in Rosendale, New York, a historic limestone mine whose cement was used to build both the Brooklyn Bridge and the base of the Statue of Liberty. The mine was named after Jane, wife of the tough mine owner A.J. Snyder, who was beloved by the local community for her kindness. Rosendale limestone contains a higher mineral content than that typically found in Kentucky, and the distillery uses this naturally filtered spring water to proof down each batch.
