High West A Midwinter Night's Dram
Rye
High West // (bottled in) Utah, USA
High West A Midwinter Night's Dram is a blend of straight rye whiskeys using whiskeys from MGP and as of 2018 (the 6th Act) High West's own distillate. The ryes are first aged in new, charred American oak, then they're blended and finished in French oak and ex-port barrels. It's bottled without chill-filtration at 98.6 proof.
The name is a take off of Shakespeare's famous play as this dram is a perfect way to keep you warm on a midwinter night. This is a seasonal release with different year releases listed as different acts. The scenes are just different bottling days. .

RyeUnlike bourbon, rye whiskey can be made anywhere in the world. But if made in the US, the mash bill recipe must be at least 51% rye and it must be aged in new, charred oak barrels with no age requirement. Elsewhere, the rye whiskey will be made keeping the country of origin's rules regarding the recipe and minimum aging.

Tasting Notes
"The robust spicy rye notes are still present in the glass, but as it sits, red fruit tempers that just a bit. As you taste, the spicy rye comes again to the forefront along with vanilla and more red fruit. The finish is warm and spice filled with hints of chocolate and fresh whipped cream with a dash of white pepper."
