Widow Jane
Widow Jane was founded in 2012 in Red Hook, Brooklyn, and takes its name from the Widow Jane Mine in Rosendale, New York. The distillery was built around giving American whiskey a distinctly New York identity, with blending, proofing and bottling centred in Brooklyn rather than in a more traditional bourbon setting. A big part of that identity is the limestone mineral water brought down from the Rosendale mines, around 100 miles north of the distillery, which Widow Jane uses to proof its whiskeys.
