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

A very good rye that lingers. The port flavor comes through subtly.

And they’re back (almost) back to form. Just when I was close to writing off HW Midwinter, they came up with their Act 7, which though not to the level of Pre Act 4, is still pretty good. Christmas in a bottle—-mulled wine, nutmeg, allspice and oranges. Well made —and with a bigger portion of their own juice. @Scott_E I know you’re a fan—-this is much better than last year’s Act 6.

Deep rust color with a pinkish hue. Enticing fruit-forward nose with notes of apple juice, grape soda, cherry pie filling, green pears, mulling spice blend and hints of cedar. Thick, full-bodied mouthfeel. Strong port influence on the palate, with dried apricots, dark cherries, golden raisins, honey, hints of cinnamon apple pie, and peppery rye spices kicking in at the back of the palate. Long, dry finish with more black pepper and rye spice, herbal grassy notes, grape soda and a touch of oak.

High alcohol content! Port barrel finish on the big cube. Easy drinking nothing overly talkative
