As an homage to the creative spirit of our city, this limited-edition 10 Year release was specially selected by bartenders across New York’s iconic boroughs. Assembled with five barrels to represent our five boroughs, we deliver a whiskey as rich & complex as New York itself. Pacify the chaos of the city with a neat pour & sip slowly.
“For the 23 years I've been living in New York City, I’ve never tired of it. It is addictively full of potential; art to experience, new tastes and smells to perceive, and stories to live and learn. I feel much the same about the realm of whiskey. It felt only right to bring together these two complex, complicated and beautiful worlds, with the help of some incredibly talented bartenders.”
Sienna Jevremov,
Widow Jane Head Distiller & Blender
The quintessential New York thing that reminds me of Widow Jane is being effortlessly cool. New York is a place that doesn't have to try to be a very cool, fun city and Widow Jane is the same. Down to the different releases of whiskey that they have to the merch to the people that work for them, they are a brand that is just inherently cool and doesn't even have to try just like New York.
The quintessentially New York thing that reminds me of Widow Jane is the block the distillery is on. Love em or hate em, cobblestone streets are such a tried and true New York thing that reflects history. Forest Hills, Soho, somewhere in the Bronx, a cemetery in Staten Island. Every time you encounter cobblestone, you are forced to think about why they're there. That leads to thinking about the rich history of the city. Nowadays, every time I hit cobblestone I think of Widow Jane. Happy to have you as a part of my city.
The Statue of Liberty reminds me of Widow Jane. She stands tall on the water, and is an iconic symbol of what can be achieved if you bring people together from all over the world with the hope of making something beautiful. Widow Jane does this with its ability to use the small differences in each blend to compliment each other. The idea that even if you’re not the “same” you’re important and you have something to contribute.
The quintessential New York thing that reminds me of Widow Jane is the neighborhood of Red Hook. During the cocktail revival getting information and the story's of Lenell's carrying all the bitters and doing amazing things. The neighborhood is synonymous with cocktails and of course the birth of Widow Jane.
