I had the opportunity to visit High West Distillery a few years ago, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The distillery is housed in a historic building that was once a livery stable and later a saloon during the days of the Old West. The rustic charm of the building adds to the overall ambiance and sets the stage for the exceptional whiskeys they produce.
One of the highlights of my visit was learning about the craftsmanship and attention to detail that goes into making the Midwinter Nights Dram. The whiskey starts with a blend of rye whiskeys that have been carefully selected for their unique flavor profiles. These rye whiskeys are then finished in port barrels, which impart rich and complex flavors to the final product.
The choice to finish the whiskey in port barrels is a nod to the tradition of European spirits aging in wine casks. This unique aging process adds depth and character to the whiskey, resulting in a dram that is truly one-of-a-kind. The influence of the port barrels can be tasted in the notes of dried fruits, spices, and a subtle sweetness that elevate the overall flavor profile.

The fact that it is a limited release adds to its desirability and makes it highly sought after by whiskey enthusiasts.
