High West Distillery - 'A Midwinter Nights Dram' Rye - Act 12, Scene 6

High West Distillery’s A Midwinter Night’s Dram Rye – Act 12, Scene 6 continues the storied tradition of this cherished seasonal release—an opulent rye whiskey built upon High West’s renowned Rendezvous Rye™ and finished in French oak and Port barrels. Each Act and Scene reveals its own narrative, and Act 12, Scene 6 offers a particularly expressive, winter-evoking performance.

The nose opens with black cherry syrup, stewed berries, dried fig, vanilla bean, and a warm swirl of baking spice, elevated by the finesse of French oak. The palate expands in rich, layered waves of mulled plum, raspberry reduction, clove, brown sugar, candied orange peel, and hints of nutmeg, all harmonizing beautifully with the Port finish’s silky, fruit-laden depth and gentle tannic structure. The finish is long, warming, and theatrical, lingering with cocoa, spiced wine, dark fruit preserves, and toasted oak sweetness, inviting slow, contemplative sipping.

Complex, elegant, and unmistakably evocative of winter’s charm, Act 12, Scene 6 stands as a memorable installment in the A Midwinter Night’s Dram series—crafted to elevate cold nights into something timeless and enchantingly dramatic.
