High West A Midwinter Nights Dram Act 11
Ships from San Diego, California
"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, crème anglaise. Sip it slowly through the coldest night.
