Widow Jane 12-Year Bourbon 2017 (99 Proof)

Widow Jane’s 12-year bottlings have become one of the toughest bottles of Bourbon to secure in the Whiskey world. There’s a good reason for that. This particular bottling in 2017 was particularly crazy– the 99 Proof barrel #19 that I was able to crack into is a showstopper– a deeply sophisticated bottle of Bourbon that you just want to sit with and study for hours.

Notes of caramelized brown sugar, tea leaves, baking spice and lemon vanilla fill the nose followed by layers of Crème brûlée, candied walnuts, and a hint of orange zest. Grab one of the few bottles I have left before its too late– you will thank me.
