High West A Midwinter Night's Dram Act 10 (All Scenes)

Nose - Cherries, cloves, cinnamon, gentle warm rye bread sweetness, hint of vanilla, caramel, mint chocolate Taste - Sweet raisins, plums, bitter dark chocolate, cinnamon spice, burnt sugar bitterness, vanilla, woody mint stems, bitter crushed spices Finish - Spicy sweet raisins, bitter wood/leather notes, crushed cloves Score - 83/100 Final Thoughts - So the nose on this one is probably the best part and the initial hit on the palate is nice. The nose was very pleasant with notes of sweet red cherry (like that in cough syrup) and just a general winter vibe. I don't feel as if this one is overly sweet, but I do feel as if this one was might have had some components that were a bit overoaked. I don't normally mind bitter tastes, but this one for some reason felt as if it was a bit on the bitter side with loads of oak, woody mint stems, and bittersweet crushed spices. This sadly lingered over to the finish where you get this light sweetness, but it feels dominated by the bitterness. Would I drink it if offered? - Yes Would I specifically order it? - No Would I buy a bottle? - No NOTE - All reviews are done without factoring in price.

Scene 2. Nose of port, molasses, coconut, rye, fig newtons, fennel, oak and walnuts. Spicy on the palate, semi sweet, with flavors of rye, coconut, port. Actually a bit disappointing after the Act 9. Definitely still good though. @twostal

Scene 2. Wow. SO different from the other acts. Tried neat at dads with @Looneyhead Man I feel bad about this one but it’s sooooo different from previous. Nearly a port on the nares. Molasses, Coconuts, and Malibu and pretty flat and kind of a buzz kill honestly. It’s very much lien a rum. I’ll have to come back to this bc trying to enjoy thanksgiving EVE

Overrated overpriced.
