High West A Midwinter Night's Dram Act 14 — Limited Engagement

High West A Midwinter Night's Dram, Act 14, Scene 1 (Limited Engagement) is available for pre-order now and releases October 2026. Reserve your bottle today; it will ship when the release arrives.

The 20th-anniversary edition of High West's beloved winter rye is the most cask-adventurous yet. It begins with a blend of straight rye whiskeys aged 4 to 10 years, then finishes in a combination of Ruby and Tawny port barrels plus Amontillado, Oloroso, and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks — the first time sherry casks have appeared in a Midwinter Night's Dram. Bottled at 49.3% ABV (98.6 proof) in a 750mL bottle, Act 14 is a one-time Limited Engagement release from High West Distillery in Park City, Utah.

Tasting Notes

  • Nose: Caramel, vanilla, and baking spices with dried cherries, figs, dates, cocoa, and a floral, citrus-tinged lift.
  • Palate: Rich and full-bodied — dark fruits, dark chocolate, espresso, and toasted nuts, with port-wine sweetness and rye spice in balance.
  • Finish: Long and warming, with dried fruit, oak, cocoa, and a whisper of sherry nuttiness.

Key Highlights

  • ✔ Act 14, Scene 1 — Limited Engagement: the 20th-anniversary edition of High West's annual winter release
  • ✔ Straight rye whiskeys aged 4–10 years, finished in Ruby & Tawny port barrels
  • ✔ First-ever sherry cask finish in the series: Amontillado, Oloroso, and Pedro Ximénez
  • ✔ 98.6 proof / 49.3% ABV — 750mL, bottled by High West Distillery, Park City, Utah

How to Enjoy

This is a fireplace whiskey: pour it neat in a Glencairn and let the port-and-sherry finish open up as it breathes. A few drops of water will coax out the dried fruit. Pair with dark chocolate, aged Manchego, or a slice of fruitcake — or simply with the first cold night of the season.
