High West A Midwinter Night's Dram

Act 6, Scene 6 Packaged beautifully; slight glint to the glass & nice hand-numbered labels. Nose: Huge rye. Some plum, but it is buried behind the allspice Palate: Vanilla. Really nice oak. Spice and smoke. Mild port. Cloves hit with the.... Finish: Delicate warmth. Dessert. Melted vanilla icecream....still some of that wood. Very much prefer this neat, with no water. Dilution flattens it out....bitter meringue and zest. Still a long finish, but I miss the creamy vanilla notes that moves to the background. Love it. I'm biased, as this was a wonderful gift from the wife. But: I. Want. More.

If more rye whiskey tasted like this, I'd drink more rye whiskey. This is complex and lovely in ways I did not anticipate. On the nose, predominantly sour cherries, but also hints of bread and butter pickles as well as pumpernickel bread. On the palate, I get the characteristic rye spice, but also the friendlier spices from the finishing barrels and cherries again. On the finish, vanilla and allspice with the oak coming through strong at the end.

The nose is pleasant, smooth finish. Rich- fruity- delicious finished rye

Pretty good Rye. I guess I’m not much of a Rye fan, but it was still good. I could taste spice and honey.

Winey nose, cedar pallet, butterscotch finish

Excellent rye - one of the best I've had. Rich and full-bodied, it brings to mind sitting by a fireplace in winter and savoring a cold night with its fruitiness, slight spiciness and smooth long finish.
