Widow Jane 15 year old The Vaults Blend of Straights (Batch 3), 49.5%

Price: 225 Issue: Spring 2022 Reviewer: David Fleming Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey


Cloves, baking spices, and fragrant dried herbs on the nose—very herbal overall, hints of cedar chest, touches of mature oak, and dark chocolate. The palate is chewy and creamy, with caffé latte and spiced chocolate laced with coconut shavings. There's a milkshake-like quality to its thickness and depth, with deeper notes of baked red berries, blackberries, and cinnamon-chocolate babka. A chocolate-filled finish with custard, cinnamon, and berry tart. A loaded, generous dram. (3,000 bottles)
