High West A Midwinter Nights Dram Rye Whiskey 750ml

Act 11 / Scene 11

Named after "A Midsummer Night s Dream" by William Shakespeare.

Greetings good gentles and ladies. At High West, we consider whiskey an indispensable part of making it through the long cold winter. One taste of A Midwinter Night s Dram alongside a cozy fire will surely transport you to a dreamlike state.

This limited release whiskey is a sumptuous marriage of our Rendezvous Rye finished in both port and French oak barrels. The rye forms a beautiful base of vanilla, caramel and cinnamon; the port barrels enhance with plums and dried fruits; the French oak provides a spice accent. For us, A Midwinter Night s Dram tastes like a proper Christmas plum pudding with lovely mulling spices, dried fruits, and cr me anglaise.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Poached pears, dried cherry, star anise, nutmeg, spiced Christmas cookie, dark chocolate mocha, cinnamon ginger cake, leaves on the forest floor.

Taste: Abounding with fig, cranberry, dark plum jam on rye toast, gingerbread, sipping chocolate, brandied cherries, winter-spiced mocha, French oak spice.

Finish: Luxardo cherry at the bottom of a Manhattan cocktail.

We recommend that you enjoy this special spirit neat, due to its many layers of complexity, next to a warm fire as the snow piles up on the window sill.
