This new Rye Whiskey from Widow Jane might be one of the tastiest pours I have had from the New York operation. If you want to hear Jake’s excitement, listen to the Samson & Surrey podcast. But first, let’s dive and share our written thoughts.
Just the Facts:
- Proof: 93
- Age: Undisclosed
- Style: Rye Whiskey
- Mashbill: Kentucky and Indiana Style Rye
- Price: $49.99
Jake’s Tasting Notes: Paradigm Rye Whiskey
- Nose: Citrus, caramel, vanilla, and burnt sugars
- Palate: burnt sugars, oak, toasted vanilla and flamed citrus
- Finish: very nice subtle citrus finish that is medium to long
Scott’s Tasting Notes: Paradigm Rye Whiskey
- Nose: Lemon, green grass, vanilla
- Palate: Not grassy as I had expected from the nose, pop of grape, honey, honeysuckle, light black tea that doesn’t have a ton of spice.
- Finish: Nice simple finish with lingering citrus.
Closing Thoughts:
This is a rye that we both enjoyed. Paradigm Rye Whiskey will probably make Jake’s top five ryes of 2023. You heard it here first, this is a rye whiskey that you need!
