![Trying Widow Jane 10 Year for THE FIRST TIME! [Blended Bourbon Review]](/img/n.gif)
I love Eagle Rare and Widow Jane gives Eagle Rare a run for its money.
My local Walmart has been selling this bottle for $37.98. I figured it was a mistake, but it’s stayed at that price for the past 4-5 months. Just picked up my 3rd bottle today. Cheers!!
I live in the Kansas City area, Costco and Sam’s Club carry widow Jane 10 year for $55. the liquor stores are have it for $75 around here, so you might want to take a look and see.
Me too, KC metro area. Just bought Widow Jane at Sam’s last week. Great pour!
I will be in the KC area for a few days. Mostly North KC, Mo. Close to KCI. I-29 and Hwy 152. Any liquor stores you know of around there and recommend?
@@curetiamhices289 there is a bubbles liqour store up there that’s really good and you could make a short drive and visit ben holladay. There’s another liqour store up there that is decent but I can’t remember the name of it
I bought this bottle over Thanksgiving after finding not much else at a reasonable price on Long Island (shocking, right). But I really like my batch. Has a fantastic rich cherry note that was unique to me. Now I may pick up one of their higher-end offerings should I come across one for a fair price.
At 91 proof, 10 years, and $80, I think I would have to stick with Russell's Reserve for less than half that price. I prefer Russell's to Eagle Rare. Going to go pick up a bottle of Dickel 15 year today. Heard good things and its around $70 here. Cheers!
Last bottle of WJ10 I bought seems like the majority of the blend was compromised of George Dickel whiskey. Felt like a bit of a scam when 100 proof 13 year Dickel Bonded is on the shelf at $50.
My money goes over to scotches like Clynelish 14 or Talisker 10 before buying WJ10 at $80 again.
I find widow Jane’s to be much more flavorful than Russel’s.
For that price, I think I'd opt for a much cheaper Russell's Reserve 10 instead. I would love a pour of Decadence, though.
I would agree. Guess I'm on the wrong channel as I have no room in my budget for an $80 bottle of bourbon when cheaper bourbons are available. Of course, if they get the bottles for free or donated, more power to them.
I like the nose and dark fruit of WJ10 too. In my part of California it can be found commonly for $55-60. Good stuff.
The 10 year anniversary edition Bourbon Bill Newton turned me on to. It's $20 more here in PA but I do think it's worth it.
cool video. i ahve one of these on my shelves and have not opened. will have to this weekend. thanks
The proof is also why I’ve passed on that one so far. As a 1910 fan, your tasting notes make it sound right up my alley. I’ve heard a lot of good things about WJ Decadence too, but never seen one here in Oregon. If you guys ever get one, I’d be interested in your take.
The decadence is really good imo.
My local Walmart sells this for $37, I don't know why but I won't question it. Haha
You may enjoy that 10yr Anniversary bottle 😁👍
Great review as always. I picked up the WJ 10 a few weeks ago, but have not cracked it open yet. Cannot wait to try it.
Widow Jane Decadence is so good if you like sweet. One of my favorites
You read my mind! The 10 Year Bourbon I KEEP PASSING UP is WJ 10 YEAR! lol. and I was just talking about it to some friends that really love this bottle.
My main problem has always been the low proof and the $75 price tag. even though, I have always been intrigued by it. If the quality of the whiskey is up to par, then, I think this might just be a sign for me to pick this up. Cheers!
I always keep atleast two Widow Jane's here in my home. One is its delicious. Two here in North Carolina the price point is 60 bucks. Three I see eagle rare once a year.
This has been on my radar for a few months. It might make its way into my cart very soon.
High quality low proofers aren't nearly the norm in bourbon as they are in international whisk(e)y, so while it is pricey, it's nice to have a high quality bottle out there that's available.
I had that at a bar and loved it. It’s been on my list to buy I just haven’t gotten around to it yet.
Thinking about trying WJ Decadence. I can get it for $70 in Mississippi and Louisiana.
Oh man, I traded samples and got this. I thought it was fantastic. I had low expectations, but it gave me the dark fruit, but also gave me a ton a baking spices! It was such a surprise to me. Plus is I can get it for 63-68 dollars in WI!
Have really enjoyed Widow Jane 10. The 13 is also incredible. Got a bottle of Decadence that I can't wait to pop the top on. I agree it would smash ER in a blind. Sounds like a lot of folks in the comments want to see it against RR10. Nice job, Elvis
I can pick this up on the reg for about $60. Haven't picked one up yet but may have to add it to the list.
Erin’s flashdance look is the best 😂
Sweet review!
Widow Jane has a release, in Ohio, finished in maple syrup barrels. That one must be off the rails sweet.
I absolutely love this bottle. One of the best noses out there imo. Really enjoy tue palette as well.
I actually had one of these in a blind and it held up very well. Cheers guys 🥃
High quality low proofers aren't exactly the norm so it's nice to have something in that gap between Eagle Rare and Michter's 10. Cheers!
Love the Widow Jane 10yr. Especially that it dropped in price to 56 bucks at my store.
That's FAR more manageable. At $56 it feels like a necessary buy at least once. If we see one for that we're picking it up and putting it into some blind head-to-heads.
I agree...if I found a bottle of WJ 10 for under $60.00, I would probably grab one too.
Widow jane is fine. The problem is its price for me. Id take a russells 10 over it. They recently were purchased by heaven hill
I know that this will be a while from now, but with Lisa Wicker leaving as master distiller, what if any changes will come about. Also, will they keep using MGP distillate now that they are owned by Heaven Hill. Just two thoughts.
I'm looking for widow Jane 10 year finished in maple syrup barrel's 🤤 Decadence I believe it's called
I'll have to get this one as it is available to London. I like a sweet bourbon once in a while.
The WJ10 10th anniversary bottle, coming in at 100 proof, is even better than the standard bottling (which is already fantastic).
I saw that the other day for 109---do you think it's worth that price? I'm a huge fan of the Lucky Thirteen. Cheers!
@@michelerivera6183 It’s $100 here in Michigan and I think it’s worth that. I’d probably pay $109 for it. The Lucky Thirteen is up there for me as well! 👍🏼 cheers!
@@mitchelllatray1829 Thanks!
Widow Jane 10 is a really good pour, and imo it's worth the 75 bucks. Awesome review. 🥃
Because they aren't open about much to do with their "juice", I tend to pass it by purposely due to other better and less expensive Bourbons. I'm sure it's good but they need to disclose who,what, and where before I drop $75 on WJ 10 Year.
Now owned by Heaven Hill. I’ve also always just passed it by. Might have to give it a whirl.
It's pricey, but if you enjoy high quality low proofers then it's one to check out. Cheers Troy!
Great video. I think it's just OK, but I got it for 56.99 here, so I figured at that price I had to try it. I personally like Eagle Rare and Russell's Reserve 10 year better. For 80 bucks, nope, totally pass.
Thanks for the review. I’ve always been intrigued, but just now recently started seeing them in my area. But…for $85-89 in my area, seems tough to pull the trigger. I have also seen the Decadence pop up, as well, for $119. SLB Drinks raves about the Decadence, but again, just seems pricey. Have you tried the Decadence? Thanks, as always!
We've not tried the Decadence. This is already a tough pill for us to swallow at the price but have heard good things about Decadence and the 13 Year.
Wow, SLB Drinks also released a video covering this one today. I've been passing it by but maybe I'll give it a shot now. They also just released their 10th anniversary version which is higher proof but $30 more. I wonder if it's worth it.
Taste good! but the price......and, maybe just me, but the bottle, that label...did they print that on their home inkjet printer?
I’m a buyer of this at 107-111proof all day. Please just give us that:) Excellent at the proof it’s at but just too thin IMO.
Man this is the 2nd video released today that said Widow Jane 10 year is worth trying.
For the $80 price tag I think I'll stick with Russel's Reserve 10 year or Knob Creek 9 year.
Our last bottle/batch of Russell's 10 purchased over a year ago was just alright, but we just picked up another for some video content and we are really enjoying this new bottle quite a bit. Batches can vary in flavor over time just like single barrels can vary in flavor, and it's hard to argue with the value of the flavor in this Russell's 10 bottle for $35.
The way you guys are describing the flavor profile, would this be a matchup for WR double oaked or 1910? Both those are cheaper as well.
Those are a bit darker with a heavier caramel influence where this is a bit more fruit and oak, but if we get a bottle we'll certainly throw it into head-to-heads against those two!
Still trying to find this one…
I don't think I can pay $80.00 for 91 proof....thanks for the review
We hear ya. You've gotta really like lower proof pours to spend that much.
I do like some that are 84, 86, 90 proof, etc. But generally, if a bottle is around $80.00. I feel that I can justify spending the $ if it is a higher proof....or a special bottle....I mean Russell's Reserve is a ten year old 90 proof bourbon and I can still find it for $40.00 or less.
@@curtboxley7678 that’s usually where we land too. We do think this is a pretty big cut above Russell’s 10 and Eagle Rare in quality though. The flavor profile is different, but interestingly enough, this feels more like a value option (if you can even say that at $80) over Michter’s 10 rather than a slightly better take on $40 10 year bourbon. Folks paying $150-200+ for Michter’s for “premium” low proof 10 year bourbon when this sits on shelves is kind of wild.
I got the mfg right from your description thought it was going to be their decadence though.
We got to try Decadences recently and that's one sweet pour! Maple syrup in a glass. Likely too rich for Erin but I could see it being a great dessert pour myself if I were having 2 oz at the end of the night.
@@stuffandwhiskey definitely sweet. One pour’s good for me also but like you said it’s good at the end of the night to sip on.
$80 for a 10 year bourbon? When Russel’s Reserve is less than half that price? No thanks. 🤦🏼♂️
That’s a fair take. This was markedly better than Russell’s 10, though, and we love Russell’s 10. With Heaven Hill purchasing Widow Jane, it’s a different ballgame now. Be interesting to see what happens with the brand. Cheers and thanks for watching Bill.
@@stuffandwhiskey much better than RR? 10 I love the RR so I’ll definitely have to give this one a shot. 👍🏼
@@OrdinaryDude67 we think so. It's like the stopgap between the lower priced 10 years like Russell's and Eagle Rare and the very pricey 10 years like Michter's (although we prefer this over the Michter's 10 year we have).
MGP for the Win.
Info seemed sparse on this one. Seems like they may source for a few different places. Any info?
@@stuffandwhiskey you're right 👍 it's a blend from Indiana/Tennessee/ Kentucky
Way over priced when you consider eagle rare or you can grab a knob creek 9 for $30
Less and it’s just as good or better
Shhhhh😂
I agree with Erin… too sweet. Not worth the money in my opinion.
Too $$ for me.
We wouldn’t argue with you there. It is pricey which is why we’ve always passed it up before (and have still yet to buy a bottle).
