A Midwinter Night's Dram Act 5 Scene 8.
Joy, gentle friends! joy and fresh nights of whisk(e)y
Accompany your hearts!
Nose: Rye, spiced apples, and a touch of port play on the nostrils. Sweet and sour blend so well. Soft yet harsh. It is warm and inviting, yet like sitting at a fire if you get too close it begins to burn.
Pallet: Sweet port, with a rye spice building in the back, oak, and cinnamon complement the rye. Oily mouth feel.
Finish: Sweet juicy fruit quickly dissipates letting oak and rye dry out the mouth beckoning you to take another taste. A bit of maple syrup flavor near the end of the finish.
High West Distillery has a winner with this line. I have tried act 4 scene 5 and it is equally as delicious.

@Kawajiri I happened to be down there on a fishing trip. We decided to scour around some of the ABC stores. The way the allocation process works each ABC Board gets a certain amount of the allocated product. in Brunswick County Ocean Isle Beach Sunset Beach Calabash and Holden Beach all have their own boards which gives them each an allocation. It's a much better deal than where I am in Greensboro.
@Guitar_mann bit far for me. I am in the Triangle.
@Kawajiri. Ocean Isle Beach had several of the allocated offers on the shelf. One per person per day. Stagg Jr, Saz Rye, Freddie Noe Little Book, EH Taylor varieties etc.
@Guitar_mann that’s a good deal...probably can’t get better
@Guitar_mann where in NC?
@PBMichiganWolverine. I just picked up a bottle of Act 6 Scene 3 in NC this weekend. It was $99. I hated to do it but I had to given it's scarcity here.
@Kawajiri not too bad
@PBMichiganWolverine think it should be MSRP for $100.
@PBMichiganWolverine Haven’t seen Act 6 in stores yet but Act 5 was available at the local mart for $89
@Scott_E where did you get it from? Was it reasonable? I have their Act 2 and 3, which at the time was $80. It’s probably gone up now a lot
@PBMichiganWolverine Grabbed a bottle of Act 6. Very curious about the in house spirit.
Act 6 is just out, and some portion made now with High West distilled rye
