High West A Midwinter Night’s Dram 2023 Act 11 Scene 10 (49.3% abv)

“Are you sure That we are awake? It seems to me That yet we sleep, we dream.” – Demetrius, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Act 4, Scene 1 – Wm. Shakespeare

Like the works of our favorite playwright, William Shakespeare, a glass of A Midwinter Night’s Dram is made to be savored, and over all too quickly. This limited-release whiskey is a sumptuous marriage of rye whiskeys finished in Port barrels. The rye forms a beautiful base of vanilla, caramel, and cinnamon while the port barrels provide notes of plum, dried fruit, and spice. Like a proper holiday plum pudding, it’s brimming with lovely mulling spices, dried fruits, and creme anglaise. Sip it slowly through the coldes night.

So join us good ladies and gents. Gather ‘mongst thy family and friends, and raise thy glass to winters that are “Swift as a shadow, short as any dream; Brief as the lightning in the collied night.” – Lysander, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Act 1, Scene 1, Wm. Shakespeare

Lysander describes how quickly true love can vanish. This is how we feel about a dram of this whiskey. However, if you savor it slowly, we can attest that A Midwinter Night’s Dram will help you through the coldest night.
