Widow Jane 'The Vaults' 2024 limited release is a marriage of 15 year old bourbons from a collection of old and rare Widow Jane barrels.
After painstakingly selecting each barrel for its depth of flavor, the bourbon is finished in hard-to-source, Amburana wood casks.
Over the past few years, they've set aside a selection of old and rare barrels. Upon identifying a magnificent range, they began a meticulous blending process to create the next edition of The Vaults. True to Widow Jane, these barrels are married together only ever in hyper small batches.
The result is a bourbon unparalleled in its complexity, yet rarer still for its age. This luxuriant whiskey, once married, is then finished in barrels raised with Amburana wood. Also known as ‘Brazilian Oak’,
Amburana grows in the dry jungles of Brazil and Argentina. A challenging environment with poor soil and irregular rainfall lead to slow growth and limited availability. Amburana wood is renown for its unexpected combination of warm spices, floral, and tropical notes. Finishing in Amburana casks produces a bourbon as remarkably smooth and complex as the wood itself. The barrels for The Vaults 2024 release have been intentionally selected to match the complexity and striking flavors of this special, Amburana wood.
Cut with their proprietary limestone mine water from Upstate NY, and bottled at 99 proof, you’ll experience all this whiskey has to offer, from nose to palate to the exceptionally long finish.
