Tasting Notes and Characteristics:
A sip of High West Midwinter Nights Dram 750ml feels like stepping into a cozy fireside gathering, where aromas of spiced plum pudding and candied orange peel mingle with hints of dried cherry and toasted French oak. This limited-release American whiskey, crafted in the United States with an alcohol by volume of 49.30%, is a masterful blend that brings together rye’s signature peppery warmth and layers it with notes of fig jam, star anise, and caramelized sugar. Its rich, velvety texture finds perfect harmony alongside roasted lamb or pungent blue cheese, elevating each bite with its complex interplay of baking spices and dark fruit. For those seeking a whiskey that transforms any evening into something memorable, this bottle delivers both depth and delight in every pour.
Producer Information: High West Distillery
High West Distillery, nestled in Park City, Utah, began its journey in 2006 when David Perkins, inspired by the parallels between biochemistry and distillation, transformed a historic livery stable and garage into Utah’s first legal distillery since 1870. High West stands out for its innovative blending of sourced whiskeys with their own small-batch spirits, often highlighting the unique climate and high-altitude aging conditions of the Wasatch Range. Their portfolio extends beyond their celebrated rye blends to include American Prairie Bourbon and Campfire Whiskey—a distinctive marriage of bourbon, rye, and peated Scotch—showcasing a creative approach that bridges American whiskey traditions with global influences. The distillery’s location in the heart of the Rocky Mountains not only shapes their spirits’ character but also positions them as a destination for visitors seeking an authentic taste of Utah’s craft beverage scene.
