Widow Jane Distillery announced the release of The Vaults 2022, the fourth chapter in a seasonally-released collection of its oldest and rarest whiskey.

The Vaults 2022 edition marries bourbons ranging from 14 years up to 19 years-old, that have been hand-selected and set aside in Widow Jane’s Red Hook, Brooklyn rick house by master distiller Lisa Wicker. As ever, The Vaults is produced in hyper-small batches and will be released to the public, in select markets, through the Holidays.

Releases of Widow Jane The Vaults are highlighted by intense flavors including those imparted by the specific wood in which it was finished. Each installment of The Vaults has explored a different finishing wood, from various regions and with different amounts of air seasoning to the staves.

The Vaults 2022 release is finished in casks raised from Missouri Ozark oak that had been air-seasoned for three years. The tight-grain oak delivers hints of vanilla, smoke, and spice. This, on top of the extra old bourbons in the final whiskey, a mix of higher-than-usual proof, and a traditional yet intense bourbon palette, makes for a truly unique sipping experience.

As is the case with all Widow Jane whiskeys, The Vaults 2022 is non-chill filtered and proofed with the pure limestone mineral water from the legendary Rosendale Mines of New York, just 100 miles north of the distillery, which contributes to the round mouthfeel and exceptionally long finish.

Widow Jane The Vaults 2022 is under strict allocation and is available at retail starting in October, and through select online retail outlets. A total of 2,000 cases are being released.

This year’s The Vaults was bottled at 99 proof, and SRP is $250.

Widow Jane is an award-winning artisanal distillery located in the New York City neighborhood of Red Hook, Brooklyn. The company is named in homage to one of the legendary mines of Rosendale in Upstate New York, from which the brand sources its proofing water. For more information, visit www.widowjane.com.
