Bottled at \u003cstrong\u003e98.6 proof (49.3% ABV)\u003c\/strong\u003e in a 750mL bottle, Act 14 builds on a base of Rendezvous Rye — a blend of straight rye whiskeys aged 4 to 10 years — and takes the finishing regimen further than any Act before it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach Act of A Midwinter Night's Dram is a \u003cstrong\u003eone-time expression\u003c\/strong\u003e: a blend that is bottled once and never repeated. For Act 14, High West kept the traditional Ruby and Tawny port barrels and added something entirely new — \u003cstrong\u003eAmontillado, Oloroso, and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks\u003c\/strong\u003e, the first sherry casks ever used in this release's history. The result is the most cask-adventurous Midwinter Night's Dram yet, marrying rye spice with layers of dried fruit and nuttiness from port and sherry wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe nose opens with dark dried fruits — fig, raisin, and plum — layered over baking spice, cinnamon, and a cool thread of mint. On the palate, walnut and toffee join the rye's savory spice, with the port and sherry influence woven through every sip. The finish is long and warming, balancing dried-fruit sweetness against a savory, peppery edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Highlights\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e14th annual installment of High West's winter limited release — a one-time expression, never repeated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBottled at 98.6 proof (49.3% ABV); 750mL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommemorates 20 years of High West Distillery, Park City, Utah (founded 2006)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBase: Rendezvous Rye, a blend of straight rye whiskeys aged 4 to 10 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinished in Ruby and Tawny port barrels \u003cstrong\u003eplus\u003c\/strong\u003e first-ever Amontillado, Oloroso, and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA collector's bottle for fans of finished \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/rye-whiskey\"\u003erye whiskey\u003c\/a\u003e and premium \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/whiskey\"\u003ewhiskey\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePour neat into a Glencairn glass and let it breathe for a few minutes — a few drops of water will coax out the dried-fruit character.
