High West A Midwinter Night's Dram Act 9 (All Scenes)

The nose smells like a fig Christmas. It would be the perfect pour around a fire during Christmas time. Vanilla strawberries and pears and hint of fig. Such a great pour

Rich, full nose greets you quickly here...plenty of spice, (wet) wood, some vanilla, dark fruits, and what I perceive as a mix of cinnamon and nutmeg...its unique, warming, and enjoyable. Fresh oak, cinnamon, and plenty of rye spice greet you on the sip, but even though this sounds brash, its actually quite gentle, and oh...so...smooth. Could add that there's some leathery feel, and this tastes like it has some serious age to it...much more than it actually does, which deserves a tip of the cap. Where there are hints of ethanol at the edges of the nose, this comes through with a very long, gradual warming, but never an alcohol burn. The finish on this is truly epic...I could have typed up this entire review and still had bits of flavor lingering on the tongue. Swirl this around...give it a bit of oxygen, admire the long lasting legs on this pour, and appreciate something worth the (MSRP) price of admission!
