“It goes without saying A Midwinter Night’s Dram is our most anticipated launch each year,” says Brendan Coyle, High West’s master distiller. “We really started to notice it taking off in the past five or six years, and the line that now forms at the distillery bright and early on release day speaks for itself. We know consumers truly love this expression just as much as we do.” What it is A Midwinter Night’s Dram is High West’s popular Rendezvous Rye finished in ruby and tawny port wine barrels. “Rendezvous Rye itself has a spicier, assertive flavor profile, so finishing that blend in ruby and tawny port barrels leads to a very well-balanced final product with a wonderful, dried fruit complexity,” Coyle adds.

  Each year’s “Act” is a slightly nuanced expression thanks to the flavors the whiskey picks up from the barrels, which are sourced from different wineries, each lending unique characteristics. “With this year’s release, Act 10, you’ll taste notes of dark rye bread, blackcurrant jam, candied ginger, bergamot, and smoked applewood,” Coyle says. “Blending, discovering, and innovating is in High West’s DNA, and we’re constantly looking for unique expressions to bring consumers.” A Midwinter Night’s Dram Act 10 also boasts scents of ripe marionberries, smashed plums, blood orange peel, Saigon cinnamon, heavily toasted Oloroso Sherry cask, and leather-bound books, according to its tasting notes. Flavors include waves of blackcurrant jam, tart cherry crumble, rose and pistachio pavlova, dark rye bread, candied ginger, Stilton blue cheese, and smoked applewood, along with a final note of mulling spices, dried fruits, and crème anglaise.
