Widow Jane Lucky 13 Private Barrel is a 13-year straight bourbon, chosen one cask at a time as a single-barrel selection. The Lucky Thirteen line is Widow Jane’s oldest core release, and a private barrel bottles a single one of those casks on its own rather than blending several, so the proof and profile belong to this cask alone. Look for a rich, mature bourbon: caramel and vanilla, seasoned oak, orchard fruit, and a dusting of baking spice through a long finish. Because each barrel is picked and bottled individually, no two selections taste identical. This one rewards slow sipping, neat in a Glencairn, or with a single cube if the proof runs hot.
