![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This limited release whiskey is a sumptuous marriage of our Rendezvous Rye finished in both port and French oak barrels. One taste of A Midwinter Night’s Dram alongside a cozy fire will surely transport you to a dreamlike state. ![]() At High West, we consider whiskey an indispensable part of making it through the long cold winter. When cruising the press info from High West I found this bit I wanted to share: This year’s release comes along with a new set of tasting notes and discussion points from the distillery. Today’s offerings from High West don’t include the aged stock of yesteryear’s offerings however, last year’s Midwinter’s Night Dram rated well for me and I think they have dialed in the blending of their own distillate to the point where future offerings should have plenty of potential. It may seem a little muddy reading “a blend of straight whiskeys” on the label, but really this is just their Rendezvous Rye which is the well-known 95/5 (rye/malted barley) straight rye whiskey from MGP as well as an 80/20 (rye/malted rye) straight rye whiskey from High West Distillery. This is a blend of straight rye whiskeys that has been finished in French oak Port barrels that clocks in at 98.6 proof. Continuing on my path of reviewing finished whiskeys for the closing of 2020 I’m taking a look today at High West Distillery’s Midwinter’s Night Dram (Act 8 Scene 3). ![]()
