High West – A Midwinter Night's Dram Act 11 Scene 11 Rye (49.3%)

A Midwinter Night's Dram, Act 11 Scene 11, is a rye whiskey from High West, bottled at 49.3% ABV. It is a seasonal bottling, suggested for sipping neat on a winter evening. The nose brings poached pear, dried cherry, star anise, nutmeg, spiced Christmas cookie, dark chocolate mocha and cinnamon ginger cake, with leaves on the forest floor. The palate is rich with fig, cranberry, dark plum jam on rye toast, gingerbread, sipping chocolate, brandied cherries and French oak spice. The finish recalls a Luxardo cherry at the bottom of a Manhattan.
