Widow Jane 10 Year Old

Product Information

Excerpt: Widow Jane 10 Year Single Barrel is a good reminder that no matter how you start, it’s how you finish that’s remembered, and sadly this pour stumbles across the finish line. Right away, I noticed that the aromas were a little muted for a ten-year-old expression. While I noticed long woody, oak scents and just a hint of vanilla, that was about it. There was more going on with the flavor on the palate, as I noticed hints of raisins, caramel corn, and just a wisp of smoke. Clyde May’s 10-Year Cask Strength bourbon is one of the best decade-old bourbons on the market today. In 2018, after a litigious battle between Preston and potential buyers, the Widow Jane brand was acquired by Samson & Surrey — a drinks marketing support and consulting firm based in Miami, Florida.

From single barrel to BiB bourbons, we hope that you find our list helpful for your bourbon hunting. This, again, was pretty great. The only reason it’s slightly lower today is that it was only classic and not that little bit extra like the next few on the list. 5. 2021 Four Roses Limited Edition Small Batch — Taste 5 Four Roses One taste revealed cinnamon sugar, citrus zest, and buttery caramel. There are also more ripe fruit flavors dancing on the palate, as well. All in all a decent sipper. That being said, the overall fruitiness of this bourbon isn’t exactly what I’m looking for in a sipping whiskey. Taste 6: Christopher Osburn It is well-rounded and full of sweet flavors, and thanks to its aging process, it has developed nice oak characteristics. 5. Basil Hayden 10-Year-Old Bourbon Whiskey

Mashbill

Widow Jane 12 Year Old — A single barrel straight bourbon whiskey offering bottled at 99-proof. Look at the Label At ten years, the spirit absorbs the flavor of the barrels and mellows out even more. Final Thoughts Despite being located in a “distillery,” the Widow Jane crew don’t actually seem to distill any of their own product. Which makes sense, since the company only started in 2012 and hasn’t had enough time to actually age their own 10 year old bottle of whiskey. The first year that would even be possible is 2022, a good three years from now.

I gave this bourbon such high marks because of just how much it brought out of being good, plain old fashioned bourbon. Everything about it is pretty much what I expect from the benchmark experience, only more so. It isn’t especially sophisticated or robust, nor does it have any trademark outlier notes. Instead, it’s just a mighty fine example of what bourbon is stereotyped as, taking what is expected and doing it very well. When it comes to beginner bourbons, you can do a lot worse than Basil Hayden’s. One of Jim Beam’s Small Batch Collection whiskeys, Basil Hayden’s is a staple in home bars throughout the country. If you want to step it up, you’ll grab a bottle of its 10-year expression. Released every fall, it has the same high-rye recipe as the original but is aged for a decade in charred, American oak casks.For a label, it’s fairly plain. There’s a statement of the name of the bottler (Widow Jane) and some information about the spirit, and then the bottler has added some additional information about the specific batch and bottle that this spirit came from. That’s the kind of information you’d normally expect from a “small batch” distiller, except in this case it doesn’t look like this was made in small batches at all. This year’s LE Small Batch is a blend of four bourbons. Four Roses is renowned for its ten distinct recipes with two mash bills and five yeast strains. This whiskey marries four of those recipes with two from Mash B (very high rye) and two from Mash Bill E (high rye). The yeasts at play are “delicate fruit,”“spice essence,” and “floral essence.” The barrels ranged from 12 to 16 years old, making this a fairly old bourbon, all things considered. Wild Turkey is a big name in the bourbon world. But sometimes it doesn’t get the respect it deserves. This is why it launched Russell’s Reserve a few years ago. The shining star of the brand is its 10-year-old expression. This 90-proof, high-corn bourbon is the culmination of almost 100 years of distilling experience between father and son duo Jimmy and Eddie Russell.
