High West Midwinter Nights Dram Act 12 Scene 7

Act 12, Scene 7 of High West’s acclaimed A Midwinter Night’s Dram continues the distillery’s tradition of crafting a richly layered, holiday-season sipper that captures the spirit of winter in a glass. Built on the foundation of High West’s Rendezvous Rye—a blend of straight rye whiskies aged in new American oak—this limited release undergoes an additional finish in a combination of Ruby and Tawny port barrels. The result is a theatrical display of spice, fruit, and oak-driven complexity, delivered with elegance and depth. Each “Scene” represents a different bottling run within the same Act, allowing for slight nuance batch to batch.

High West Distillery is located in Park City, Utah, and has earned a reputation for masterful blending and finishing techniques, often combining sourced and in-house distilled spirits. A Midwinter Night’s Dram is one of its most sought-after annual releases, inspired by Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Each edition—released as an “Act” and subdivided into “Scenes”—is a limited engagement meant to evoke the warmth, nostalgia, and indulgence of wintertime. The distillery’s high-altitude aging environment and focus on rye-based blends give this expression its distinctive depth and spice-laden charm.
