When the Widow Jane team set out to produce whiskey, they wanted to offer something that had the intense taste of New York in each sip. All Widow Jane whiskeys are proofed with pure limestone mineral water from the legendary Rosendale Mines of NY, located 100 miles north of the distillery in Red Hook, New York (Brooklyn). Led by Head Blender/Distiller Lisa Roper Wicker, whiskey is currently sourced from distilleries in Kentucky, Indianna and Tennessee - although Heaven Hill recently purchased Widow Jane and will likely take over interim production duties until the whiskey being produced and laid down in New York has aged appropriately.
