High West A Midwinter Night's Dram Act 7 (All Scenes)

Spicy up front. Dry smooth finish, goes down nicely. One of the few ryes I've ever had

PSA: this isn’t a tasting note, but a message in a bottle to anyone who will read this... I need another bottle of this. It is wonderful, and I’ve only found it one time. Wonderful.

Awesome, heartwarming rye. Color is a beautiful dark brown, huge spice profile; a lot of cinnamon, clove. Bit of ethanol on the nose, but with previous acts of MWND, I have found this dissipates with age and it just continues to get better each month after opening

I'm somewhere between a 4 and a 5 but am rating up because it's the sort of thing I'll keep reaching for. Having just come off a solid holiday week of drinking good barrel strength rye, this isn't what I'd serve to rye snob friends. But instead it's a crowdpleaser great for bourbon drinkers transitioning to rye. The port barrel is subtle and doesnt steal from the rye. Though worth rationing in the liquor cabinet, I'm making the conscious decision to get through mine before spring and hope I can score another next year.
