Vince Oleson

Vince got started in the liquor world bartending at 19 years old and has devoted his life to a love of spirits and the art of distilling. With his bartending experience Vince brings a unique appreciation of mixology and the combination of flavors to his craft. His expertise on the varied styles and history of whiskey through his work as Whiskey Sommelier for The Flatiron Room, and Fine & Rare brings another layer to his role. He helps execute all of all of Widow Jane’s day-to-day distilling operations; managing cooks, fermentations, distillations, maturing, blending for bottling, and worked with farmers in the Hudson Valley, NY to grow unique corn varietals and isolate Widow Jane’s very own Baby Jane corn. As Distiller, Vince also helps develop and research new whiskey recipes for Widow Jane, and most importantly, takes care of the nine lovely Distillery chickens.
