Not only did I have some bottles in my collection from my 2017 single barrel bottling, but I also found a few of these beauties from the 2018 bottling to add to my collection. This baby comes from barrel #74. Comparing this to my 2017 private barrel, I think this one gives off a little bit more chocolate and honey notes. Like the 2017, it comes in at a whopping 99 Proof comes absolutely jam-packed with intricate notes tucked away, layer after layer. The one thing I can say with absolute certainty is this one is far and away better than the 10-year bottling. It’s not even all that close either.
Widow Jane 12-Year Bourbon 2018 (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. The 2018 bottling was similar to the 2017 version that I got, but it’s a bit richer with more chocolate notes. I managed to snag a few bottles of barrel #74 from 2018, a fabulous 99 Proof barrel. This is a deeply sophisticated bottle of Bourbon that you just want to sit with and enjoy for hours on end.
Notes of caramelized brown sugar, creamy chocolate, baking spice and french vanilla fill the nose followed by layers of Crème brûlée, candied walnuts, and a hint of orange zest. I have even less of this than I do my 2017 barrel… don’t wait too long!
