Ten Years, Then the Maple Barrels
Decadence starts where Widow Jane's flagship leaves off: the house's legendary 10 year old bourbons, hand-assembled in small batches in Red Hook, Brooklyn and cut only with limestone mineral water from the Widow Jane Mine in Rosendale. For Decadence, that mature bourbon takes a final rest in barrels that held Crown Maple's artisanal maple syrup at Madava Farms in Dover Plains — not long enough to become a flavored whiskey, just long enough for the wood to hand back maple, brown sugar and a creamy roundness. The 2024 edition is the annual limited release of that idea. Browse the Widow Jane collection, more bourbon, and the full whisky shelves at Del Mesa.
Tasting Notes
The brand's notes: sugared pecans, maple, birch beer and charred oak on the nose; vanilla, burnt sugar and cinnamon bark on the palate; a finish of brown sugar, shortbread, mellow tobacco and old whiskey — rich and creamy-smooth, sweet without ever turning syrupy.
How to Enjoy
Built as an after-dinner pour: neat, in a rocks glass, with time to open. A single large cube stretches it into a slow dessert sipper, and it makes a quietly luxurious Old Fashioned with no sweetener beyond a whisper — the maple is already in the whiskey.
