High West A Midwinter Night's Dram is a cult-favorite limited release from High West Distillery in Park City, Utah — a seasonal rye whiskey that has become one of the most anticipated winter bottlings in American whiskey. This is an Act 10, Scene 3 release, continuing a numbered run that whiskey collectors track closely. Each Act and Scene delivers subtle variations in blending and finishing, making every release a collectible in its own right.
The blend starts with straight rye whiskeys and is finished in French oak port barrels, layering dense stone-fruit sweetness, winter-spice warmth, and rich berry-driven complexity onto the base rye's peppery spine. On the palate, expect dried cherry, baked plum, dark chocolate, clove, nutmeg, and a long, wintery finish carrying toasted oak and soft cocoa. Named in tribute to Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, the bottling is built for holiday sipping — ideal by the fire, alongside a holiday feast, or as a gift to a serious whiskey drinker on the list.
Bottled unfiltered and released annually in limited quantities, Midwinter Night's Dram consistently sells through its retail allocation within weeks. Pair with our High West Double Rye, Rendezvous Rye, and other finished-whiskey releases for a complete High West flight. Ships to most US states. Adult-signature required at delivery.

Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is High West's seasonal rye from Park City, Utah: a blend of straight rye whiskeys finished in French oak port barrels and bottled unfiltered at 98.6 proof. The port finish lays stewed plum, dark cherry and fig jam over a peppery rye backbone, with cinnamon, clove and star anise on the palate and a long close of candied orange peel, oak spice and dark cocoa. It suits two kinds of drinkers. Collectors follow the numbered Act and Scene run, and this Act 10, Scene 3 bottling carries its own subtle blending and finishing variations. Rye lovers who want something richer and more dessert-leaning than a typical rye will find the fruit and spice in good balance, and the proof gives it enough grip to open up with a few minutes of air. We carry it because it is a genuinely seasonal whiskey that rewards slow sipping by the fire or at the holiday table, and it makes a thoughtful gift for a serious whiskey drinker.
Pairs well with
- Glazed holiday ham — The whiskey's port-soaked fruit, molasses and clove echo a sweet, spiced glaze while the rye spice cuts through the richness.
- Sharp aged cheeses — Dark cherry, fig jam and baked plum play the role of a fruit preserve alongside a sharp, salty cheese.
- Fireside winter evening — Its long, warming finish of candied orange peel, oak spice and dark cocoa is made for slow sipping on a cold night.
