The Story
2025. Lucky Thirteen. 13 years. Widow Jane — the 2025 release of Widow Jane's annual Lucky Thirteen expression, presenting 13-year-old American oak straight bourbon diluted to proof with the Widow Jane mine water from the Rosendale Mines in New York — the mineral-rich limestone water source that gives Widow Jane its name and its distinct character.
Widow Jane Distillery is based in Red Hook, Brooklyn, and takes its name from the Widow Jane Mine in the Rosendale Mines of upstate New York. The mine's limestone seams produce naturally mineral-rich spring water that the distillery uses to dilute their bourbons to proof — a differentiating practice in a category where most distilleries use reverse osmosis or standard water for proofing. The mineral character of Rosendale limestone water adds subtle texture and complexity that neutral water does not.
At 13 years, the Lucky Thirteen presents extended American oak character with the mineral-water dilution that distinguishes the Widow Jane house style. With 10 units in stock, the 2025 release is the most available Widow Jane expression in the current collection.
