3. Widow Jane
Widow Jane’s whiskey is proofed with pure limestone mineral water from the Legendary Rosendale Mines of New York, only 100 miles from the distillery’s location in Red Hook, Brooklyn. You’re truly getting “a taste of New York” when you sip on this whiskey made with the same material used to build the foundation of the Empire State Building. The water that flows through the Rosendale caverns has unusually high mineral content which gives it a sweetness that’s become the fingerprint of the distillery. Public tours are offered in the rustic, natural light-filled headquarters on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
