And no, before anyone asks, they haven't just tipped apple juice into a barrel and called it innovation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWidow Jane Apple Wood Rye is a distinctive American whiskey produced by Widow Jane Distillery in Red Hook, Brooklyn, New York. Crafted from a carefully selected blend of straight rye whiskeys, this expression introduces an unusual finishing technique using toasted applewood staves to create a softer, more fruit-forward interpretation of traditional rye.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe whiskey builds on the foundation of Widow Jane's Paradigm Rye, combining the familiar peppery spice and herbal character of rye grain with the delicate orchard-fruit influence of applewood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring finishing, toasted applewood staves are introduced alongside the oak, encouraging the development of baked apple, citrus, subtle wood smoke and warming spice. Importantly, the apple character comes from the wood itself rather than added apple flavouring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike other Widow Jane expressions, the whiskey is proofed using pure limestone mineral water sourced from the legendary Rosendale Mines in upstate New York, an important part of the distillery's production identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBottled at 46.5% ABV (93 Proof), Apple Wood Rye delivers a lively balance of fruit, spice and oak, with enough character to enjoy neat and a particularly interesting profile for classic whiskey cocktails.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eColour:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Rich golden amber with warm copper highlights.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNose:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Fresh apple blossom and gentle applewood smoke lead into warming rye spice, toasted oak and vanilla.
