All Widow Jane whiskeys are proofed with pure limestone mineral water from the legendary Rosendale Mines of NY, just 99 miles north from our home in Red Hook, Brooklyn. It was limestone from this mine which was used to build the foundation of some of New York's greatest structures: the gargantuan caissons of the Brooklyn Bridge, the Empire State Building and the 27,000-ton pedestal to the Statue of Liberty.
This self-renewing source of water is naturally filtered through limestone and collects in the massive underground caverns. Comprised of an unusually high mineral content that enhances the natural flavors in our spirits, this water is our fingerprint and a signature ingredient. And the legend surrounding these mines is what gives Widow Jane whiskey its name.
