Widow Jane Distillery Launches Baby Jane Bourbon
Widow Jane Distillery has launched Baby Jane Bourbon, a blend of bourbons distilled at Widow Jane’s home in Red Hook, Brooklyn and in Kentucky.
Baby Jane Bourbon is named after Widow Jane’s proprietary strain of heirloom corn, “Baby Jane.” The heirloom corn is cooked low and slow, then fermented and distilled in a 1,000 liter pot and column hybrid single pass still in the Brooklyn distillery, with the process mimicked in Kentucky as well, before being placed into new, charred American oak barrels.
Baby Jane Bourbon is aged 4-6 years, proofed with the pure limestone mineral water from the Rosendale Mines of New York, and presented non-chill filtered at 45.5% ABV (91 proof).
Baby Jane Bourbon is described as having aromas of “honeycomb, cream soda, salty air, and green grape.” The palate exhibits flavors of “Café au Lait, strawberries and cream taffy, salted caramel, fresh fig, allspice, and raspberry leaf.” It finishes with “peach compote, star anise, cut hay, horchata, soft pretzel, and milk chocolate.”
Baby Jane Bourbon is limited to 90,000 bottles and will be available nationally beginning this month for a suggested retail price of $50 for a 750 mL.
