Widow Jane Oak & Applewood Aged Rye Whiskey 750mL is a bold, innovative rye whiskey that perfectly blends traditional craftsmanship with creative finishing. Produced in Brooklyn, New York, this whiskey begins with a classic high-rye mash bill and is aged in new charred American oak barrels before being finished with applewood and oak staves, adding layers of depth, fruit, and warmth.
