Widow Jane Decadence is a richly indulgent, maple-finished bourbon poured at Grappa in Queen Anne, Seattle — an after-dinner pour with genuine dessert character.
About the Distillery
Widow Jane is a craft house based in Red Hook, Brooklyn, New York, known for small-batch bourbons and a distinctive use of limestone-rich mineral water. Decadence is one of its prized limited, annually released expressions, named for the lavishly sweet finish that defines it.
Style & Mash Bill
Decadence is a small-batch bourbon built on Widow Jane’s blend of straight bourbon whiskeys, carrying age on the label. It takes mature bourbon and finishes it in barrels that previously held estate-produced maple syrup from Crown Maple in New York’s Hudson Valley — a true dessert-cask finish rather than added flavoring. The exact mash bill percentages are not publicly disclosed; ask your server about the current release.
Tasting Notes
As the name promises, this is a decadent pour: maple, brown sugar, and vanilla over sugared pecan and charred oak, with burnt-sugar sweetness and a touch of cinnamon and mellow tobacco on the finish. Creamy, smooth, and gently sweet from start to close.
What to Pair It With
This is a dessert in a glass, so it shines beside our Flourless Chocolate Cake. The maple sweetness also plays against the salt of our Charcuterie Board and the char of our American Wagyu Steaks. Explore the full dine-in menu for more.
How It’s Served at Grappa
Poured neat or on the rocks at $26. We love it neat as a dessert course on its own.
