A Midwinter Night's Dram is a seasonal release from High West and Act 11 marks the 11th annual edition. It begins with the brand's Rendezvous Rye, a blend of straight rye whiskeys which are made from two mash bill recipes: one is a 95% rye/5% malted barley distilled in Indiana and the other is an 80% rye/20% malted rye made at High West in Utah. Then the rye blend is further finished in ruby and tawny port casks. Prior to 2018, the brand sourced the rye whiskeys for this release, but it now features its own distillate.

Tasting Notes

"On first nosing the aromas aren't super expressive, but it opens up once you taste the whiskey with hearty herbal rye grain and vanilla. There's a sweetness on the tongue with a silky mouthfeel then rye spices fill your taste buds on the finish. Light red fruit flavors are on the edges of the whiskey, but you have to hunt for them. The whiskey finishes dry and bittersweet. Overall, more herbal and hearty rye than fruit-forward and sweet which you might expect from a "midwinter night's dram." But it still makes for a nice nightcap. "
