Widow Jane Decadence Maple Syrup Barrel Finished Blend of Straights, 45.5%

Price: 100 Issue: Spring 2026 Reviewer: Shane English Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey

On the nose, the barrel finish is evident, with prominent aromas of maple syrup, vanilla, and toasted oak overpowering more delicate notes of sugar cookies, peach candies, and cinnamon sugar. The palate is rich, with strong maple flavors somewhat balanced by toasted oak, barrel char, and honey. The flavors imparted by the finishing barrel are dominant, letting up slightly on the finish, which shows cocoa, chicory, and more maple syrup.
