Most reviewers are really scared to give mediocre whiskey a truly mediocre grade. Baby Jane is certainly not Good - Really Good. It's at best a C on your scale and I would actually call it an overpriced D. The age and proof don't line up in this market for a $50 bottle. Don't be afraid to call a spade a spade - and this is not a B Grade. If GTS/Pappy 15 is an S that would be an A is something like Bombergers/Michters 10 (in my opinion). The B tier would be full of all those other great bottles that just aren't top shelf. Examples would be Russels Private selects, Eagle Rare (if you like the BT profile), Maker's BEP, Some ECBP and Larceny batches (but not all), and etc. Baby Jane doesn't compare to any of those levels. It compares most favorably against something like Weller SR (which I could call a C), or Blanton's (also a C in my opinion due to low proof, flavor, and age for the MSRP). The most direct comparison would be something like Redwood Empire Lost Monarch which is my quintessential daily sipper/good low proof budget whiskey. Speaking of... Lost Monarch clears Baby Jane by a mile for $10-20 less depending on your market.
I actually really enjoyed it. It doesn’t have the age for sure but it has some good flavors. Everyone has their own likes and dislikes so I appreciate your input
Its one of those fruit cocktail cups, with that creamy-spice thing they mentioned on the label. A good pour for nights you don't want to get slapped with high proof, or a warm-up for when you do.
Thanks for the review. I had one in my hand the other and I put it back. I'm not a huge fan of Widow Jane, so I appreciate your notes! Something to consider.
It was completely average young low proof whiskey in my opinion. I'd rather have Redwood Empires base lineup than this or Buffalo Trace/Weller SR. That B is very generous.

Honey Dew melon
Words are hard
I don’t think we got strawberries and cream when we did our review of it. I’ll have to see if we get that!

Haha I like the warm up part

Not a must have by any means but good especially for the price
Sounds like something I need to pick. Strawberries and cream!!
Def has some good flavors
