Widow Jane Black Opal 20 year 750 ML
About this bottle
Black Opal is Widow Jane's 20 year old release, a blend of straight bourbons sourced from undisclosed Kentucky and Tennessee distilleries and given extended finishing time in Mizunara oak casks, the same porous, low-tannin Japanese wood used in some of the industry's most sought-after finishes. Two decades in barrel bring deep oak and dried fruit to the nose, with caramel, incense-like spice and a touch of sandalwood from the Mizunara coming through on the palate. It's a rare, limited bottling aimed at collectors and bourbon enthusiasts who already know their way around a well-aged pour.
How to drink Widow Jane Black Opal
Pour it neat in a proper glass and give it a few minutes to open; at 20 years and finished in Mizunara, the oak and spice notes are worth taking slow rather than cutting with ice.

Questions about this bottle
How should I serve a 20 year old bourbon like this?
Neat, in a tulip-shaped glass, with a few minutes to breathe — ice or mixers would mute the Mizunara oak character you're paying for.
What makes Black Opal different from other Widow Jane bottlings?
It's a blend of straight bourbons aged a minimum of 20 years and given extended finishing time in Mizunara oak casks, a porous Japanese wood not commonly used in bourbon.
What's the mash bill or source distillery?
Widow Jane doesn't disclose the source distilleries or exact blend for Black Opal — it's marketed simply as a blend of straight Kentucky and Tennessee bourbons.
