High West Distillery - 'A Midwinter Nights Dram' Rye - Act 12, Scene 5

High West Distillery’s A Midwinter Night’s Dram Rye – Act 12, Scene 5 ushers in a new act of this highly anticipated winter release—an exquisite rye whiskey crafted from High West’s celebrated Rendezvous Rye™ and finished in French oak and Port barrels. Each yearly Act brings its own nuances, and Act 12, Scene 5 delivers a beautifully orchestrated rendition filled with depth, warmth, and seasonal drama.

The aromatics rise with ripe blackberries, spiced plums, poached pear, vanilla custard, and cinnamon-laced pastry, all enhanced by the refined influence of French oak. On the palate, the whiskey unfolds gracefully with dark cherry cordial, fig jam, clove, nutmeg, caramelized sugar, and hints of sandalwood, melding seamlessly with the Port finish’s signature silky jammy fruit, soft tannins, and warming richness. The finish lingers with cocoa-dusted stone fruit, mulled spice, orange oil, and toasted oak, offering a comforting, fireside-worthy conclusion.

Expressive, layered, and unmistakably evocative of winter, Act 12, Scene 5 stands as a captivating entry in the A Midwinter Night’s Dram series—crafted to transform chilly evenings into moments of pure, theatrical indulgence.
