Widow Jane Paradigm Rye Whiskey

Blended Straight Rye Whiskey | 46.5% ABV (93 Proof) | 750 mL

Process & Profile

Widow Jane Paradigm Rye is a unique blend that brings together straight rye whiskeys sourced from Kentucky and Indiana with house-distilled material. Some expressions also incorporate New York rye. This blend is batched in small quantities (often just five barrels), married, and rested in new charred American oak. Finished with limestone-rich water from the Rosendale Mines in New York, it embodies the terroir of Widow Jane’s roots.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Lemon meringue, spring flowers, cut grass, and lychee.

• Palate: Buttered rye toast, mandarin marmalade, cedar, and white pepper.

• Finish: Herbal and nuanced with thyme, Earl Grey tea, sandalwood, and peach. Some batches show spiced peach, honeysuckle, and apple cider donut qualities.

What Makes It Special

• A small-batch blend of rye across multiple states, showcasing diversity and complexity.

• Finished with mineral-rich limestone water unique to Widow Jane’s Brooklyn heritage.

• Balances rye spice with fruit-forward sweetness for broad appeal.

• Purpose-built to reshape notions of rye by offering character without excessive heat.

How to Enjoy

Best enjoyed neat or with a splash of water to release layers of herb, spice, and fruit. Equally compelling in cocktails like a Rusty Nail riff or rye-forward Sazerac.
