Widow Jane The Vaults Aged 15 Years. Image courtesy Widow Jane.This is Widow Jane’s oldest Bourbon yet, a 15-year-old blend of straight Bourbons distilled in Indiana and Tennessee finished in casks made from oak that had been air-seasoned for five years. The nose has notes of black cherries, coffee beans, oak tannins, vanilla, and honey. The taste starts off with a touch of cherry cola followed by a burst of oak tannins and subtle spices that fade to reveal vanilla, honey, and subtle hints of cocoa and tree fruits that last through the long, dry finish. Excellent! (February, 2021)
