Is Paradigm Rye a Whiskey You Need to Buy?

Posted on by Jake Lewellen

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!
