High West A Midwinter Night's Dram Limited Engagement Act 13
High West A Midwinter Night's Dram Limited Engagement Act 13 is a 98.6-proof (49.3% ABV) limited-edition rye whiskey, 750mL — a blend of straight rye whiskeys aged 4 to 10 years, finished in a combination of ruby and tawny port barrels. Each annual "Act" is a new performance of the same beloved play; Act 13 leans into red fruit from the ruby port while keeping the Christmas-spice rye character fans collect — available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.
High West Distillery of Park City, Utah built A Midwinter Night's Dram on its flagship Rendezvous Rye — two mash bills (a 95% rye from MGP and an 80% rye / 20% malted rye from High West's own stills) married and finished in French oak port barrels. The Shakespeare-inspired series has become a holiday tradition and a collector's ritual: like the playwright's works, each Act is made to be savored — "and over all too quickly."
Tasting notes (official High West profile): nose of crushed blackberries, mandarin zest, almond shortbread, fig jam, and baking spice; a palate of marionberry preserves, chocolate-dipped cherries, marbled rye bread, mochaccino, cinnamon bark, and oolong tea; a velvety finish of chai foam and clove-studded orange.
Why buy: It's the annual allocated rye that sells out every fall — Act 13's ruby-port lift makes it one of the fruitiest Acts yet. Explore more rye whiskey at Del Mesa Liquor or browse High West at Del Mesa Liquor.
